description The aim of this study was to determine the presence of gastrointestinal helminths in black vultures (Coragyps atratus) from an area in Livingston, Izabal, Guatemala, using coproparasitological analysis. Thirty-two fecal samples from these birds were analyzed by the direct smear method and the saturated sugar solution flotation method. Out of the 32 analyzed fecal samples, 21 (65.6%) tested positive for gastrointestinal helminth ova and, out of these, 20 (95.2%) presented trematode ova, 3 (14.3%) nematode ova, and 1 (4.8%) acanthocephalan ova. Eggs of a trematode of the superfamily Diplostomoidea were the most commonly observed, being detected in 20 (62.5%) out of the 32 samples analyzed. Furthermore, samples contained trematode eggs from the family Echinostomatidae, nematode eggs from the genus Heterakis and the families Ascarididae and Trichostrongylidae, as well as eggs of Acanthocephala. Based on the coproparasitological analysis, the evaluated black vultures had gastrointestinal helminths, with the predominance of a trematode species of the superfamily Diplostomoidea. The findings of this research constitute the first approach to learning about the gastrointestinal helminthological fauna of Coragyps atratus in Guatemala.

Se analizó un total de 32 muestras fecales de estas aves por medio del método directo y el de flotación, con una solución sobresaturada de azúcar. De las 32 muestras analizadas, 21 (65.6%) resultaron positivas a la presencia de huevos de helmintos gastrointestinales; de estas, 20 (95.2%) presentaron huevos de trematodos; 3 (14.3%) presentaron huevos de nematodos; en 1 (4.8%) se encontró huevos de un acantocéfalo. Los huevos de un trematodo, de la superfamilia Diplostomoidea, fueron los más comúnmente observados, detectándose en 20 (62.5%) de las 32 muestras analizadas. Además, se encontraron huevos de un trematodo de la familia Echinostomatidae; de nematodos del género Heterakis y de las familias Ascarididae y Trichostrongylidae, así como huevos de Acanthocephala. De acuerdo con lo detectado a través del análisis coproparasitológico, los zopilotes negros evaluados presentaron helmintos gastrointestinales, predominando una especie de trematodo de la superfamilia Diplostomoidea. Los hallazgos de esta investigación constituyen un primer acercamiento al conocimiento de la fauna helmintológica gastrointestinal de Coragyps atratus en Guatemala.Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica2019-10-03info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontextoartículo originalhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_18cfhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdftext/htmlapplication/epub+zipaudio/mp4https://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/veterinaria/article/view/1281010.15359/rcv.37-2.4Ciencias Veterinarias; Vol. 37 No. 2 (2019): Ciencias Veterinarias (Julio-diciembre); 32-43Ciencias veterinarias; Vol. 37 Núm. 2 (2019): Ciencias Veterinarias (Julio-diciembre); 32-432215-45070250-5649reponame:Portal de Revistas UNAinstname:Universidad Nacional de Costa Ricainstacron:UNAspahttps://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/veterinaria/article/view/12810/17853https://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/veterinaria/article/view/12810/18564https://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/veterinaria/article/view/12810/18570https://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/veterinaria/article/view/12810/19643Derechos de autor 2019 Revista Ciencias Veterinariasacceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2019-12-28T04:05:04Zoai:ojs.www.una.ac.cr:article/12810Portal de revistashttp://revistas.una.ac.cr/Universidadhttp://www.una.ac.crhttps://revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/index/oaiandrea.mora.campos@una.crCosta RicaNo aplicaNo aplicaNo aplicaopendoar:2019-12-28T04:05:04Portal de Revistas UNA - Universidad Nacional de Costa Ricafalse
