In this study, we investigated the presence of gastrointestinal helminths in 97 captive birds (Psittaciformes and Accipitriformes) necropsied between June and December 2011 in the state of Paraiba, Brazil. Forty-three birds were infected. Psittaciformes were infected by nematode Ascaridia hermaphrodita (97.6%) and cestode Raillietina sp. (2.4%). A. hermaphrodita was found in all species of parrots and Raillietina sp. was found only in Amazona aestiva. A. hermaphrodita was the cause of death, by intestinal obstruction, in 14 of the 40 birds investigated. Accipitriformes were infected by nematode Synhimantus (Synhimantus) rectus (100%) and acantocephalan Centrorhynchus tumidulus (50%). In Brazil, Diopsittaca nobilis and A. aestiva are reported for the first time as hosts of A. hermaphrodita and Raillietina sp., respectively. We concluded that Psittaciformes and Accipitriformes in captivity are affected by nematodes, cestodes and acanthocephalans and that implementation of control measures is essential.
在本研究中，我们调查了2011年6月至12月间在巴西帕拉伊巴州进行尸检的97只圈养鸟类（鹦形目和鹰形目）体内胃肠道蠕虫的存在情况。43只鸟受到感染。鹦形目鸟类感染了线虫雌雄同体蛔虫（97.6%）和绦虫瑞利绦虫属（2.4%）。在所有鹦鹉种类中均发现了雌雄同体蛔虫，而瑞利绦虫属仅在蓝顶亚马逊鹦鹉中发现。在所调查的40只鸟中，有14只因肠梗阻死于雌雄同体蛔虫感染。鹰形目鸟类感染了线虫直形合尖线虫（100%）和棘头虫肿胀棘头虫（50%）。在巴西，首次报道了红肩金刚鹦鹉和蓝顶亚马逊鹦鹉分别作为雌雄同体蛔虫和瑞利绦虫属的宿主。我们得出结论，圈养的鹦形目和鹰形目鸟类受到线虫、绦虫和棘头虫的影响，实施控制措施至关重要。
