Brazil has a wide diversity of exotic birds that were brought to this country during the European colonization. These animals are kept in captivity and, in some cases, in inadequate facilities, which may facilitate the introduction of pathogens, including gastrointestinal parasites. The purpose of this study was to identify the main gastrointestinal parasites that affect exotic birds living in captivity in the state of Sergipe, Northeastern Brazil. Fecal samples (n = 362) from exotic birds were analyzed by direct examination and by the Willis-Mollay technique. Eggs of Amidostomum sp., Ascaridia sp., Capillarinae, Heterakis sp., Trichostrongylidae, and oocysts of coccidians were identified in nine different bird species. This is the first report in Brazil of infection by Ascaridia sp. and Heterakis sp. in Nymphicus hollandicus; by Trichostrongylidae in Serinus canaria and Streptopelia risoria.
巴西有各种各样的外来鸟类，这些鸟类是在欧洲殖民时期被带到这个国家的。这些动物被圈养，在某些情况下，饲养设施不足，这可能会促使病原体的引入，包括胃肠道寄生虫。本研究的目的是确定影响巴西东北部塞尔希培州圈养外来鸟类的主要胃肠道寄生虫。通过直接检查和威利斯-莫莱技术对来自外来鸟类的粪便样本（n = 362）进行了分析。在9种不同的鸟类中鉴定出了阿米多口属、蛔虫属、毛细线虫属、异刺线虫属、毛圆科的虫卵以及球虫的卵囊。这是巴西首次报道霍氏鹦鹉感染蛔虫属和异刺线虫属；金丝雀和灰斑鸠感染毛圆科。
