This is a survey of the helminth fauna of 285 individuals of 14 species of birds of prey (Falconiformes and Strigiformes) from Galicia (northwest Spain), namely Buteo buteo, Accipiter nisus, A. gentilis, Milvus migrans, M. milvus, Pernis apivorus, Circus pygargus, Falco tinnunculus, F. peregrinus, F. subbuteo, Tyto alba, Strix aluco, Asio otus and Athene noctua. A total of 15 helminth species were detected, namely 8 nematodes ( Eucoleus dispar, Capillaria tenuissima, Synhimantus laticeps, Microtetrameres sp., Physaloptera alata, Procyrnea leptoptera, Hovorkonema variegatum and Porrocaecum angusticolle), 4 cestodes ( Cladotaenia globifera, Paruterina candelabraria and Mesocestoides sp.), 2 trematodes ( Neodiplostomum attenuatum and Strigea falconis), and 1 acanthocephalan ( Centrorhynchus globocaudatus). The helminth communities observed were basically similar, although there were marked differences in species richness, which was higher in falconiforms (except for A. gentilis) than in strigiforms. More specifically, species richness was highest in B. buteo (13 species), followed by A. nisus (11 species). In the falconiforms, the helminth species present generally exhibited a clear relationship with host diet. In the strigiforms, by contrast, species richness was lower than expected given the host's diet, suggesting that a different explanation is needed.
这是一项针对来自西班牙西北部加利西亚地区的14种猛禽（隼形目和鸮形目）的285只个体的蠕虫动物区系调查，这些猛禽包括普通鵟、雀鹰、矛隼、黑鸢、白尾鸢、蜂鹰、白腹鹞、红隼、矛隼、燕隼、仓鸮、灰林鸮、长耳鸮和纵纹腹小鸮。共检测到15种蠕虫，即8种线虫（异形管圆线虫、细毛细线虫、宽头合咽线虫、微四棱线虫属、翼形泡翼线虫、瘦翼前殖线虫、杂色霍沃线虫和窄颈前盲囊线虫）、4种绦虫（球叶枝槽绦虫、烛台副子宫绦虫和中绦虫属）、2种吸虫（细弱新双口吸虫和隼形斯特吸虫）和1种棘头虫（球尾中央棘头虫）。观察到的蠕虫群落基本相似，尽管在物种丰富度上存在显著差异，隼形目（除矛隼外）的物种丰富度高于鸮形目。更具体地说，普通鵟的物种丰富度最高（13种），其次是雀鹰（11种）。在隼形目中，所发现的蠕虫物种通常与宿主的饮食有明显关系。相比之下，在鸮形目中，考虑到宿主的饮食，物种丰富度低于预期，这表明需要一个不同的解释。
