With the aim to identify the parasite fauna of plumbeous rail, Pardirallus sanguinolentus (Aves: Rallidae) in Chile, 26 carcasses were parasitologically necropsied. The present study revealed the presence of 14 species of parasites (inverse Simpson index = 4.64; evenness = 0.332), including ectoparasites: feather mites: Analloptes megnini , Grallobia sp., Grallolichus sp., Megniniella sp., and Metanalges sp.; the feather lice Pseudomenopon meinertzhageni, Rallicola andinus, and Fulicoffula sp.; and six species of gastrointestinal helminths: Heterakis psophiae, Porrocaecum ardeae, Tetrameres sp., Capillaria sp., Diorchis sp., and Plagiorhynchus sp. The relatively high parasite richness that was found could be attributed to the highly favorable conditions of wetlands for parasite development. All parasites found, except feather lice, are new records for plumbeous rail. A checklist of parasites for plumbeous rail is presented.
为了确定智利铅色秧鸡（Pardirallus sanguinolentus，鸟纲：秧鸡科）的寄生虫区系，对26具尸体进行了寄生虫学尸检。本研究发现了14种寄生虫（辛普森逆指数=4.64；均匀度=0.332），包括体表寄生虫：羽螨：梅氏全跗螨（Analloptes megnini）、格拉洛螨属（Grallobia sp.）、格拉洛利螨属（Grallolichus sp.）、梅氏小羽螨（Megniniella sp.）和梅氏隐螨属（Metanalges sp.）；羽虱：梅氏伪禽虱（Pseudomenopon meinertzhageni）、安第斯秧鸡虱（Rallicola andinus）和弗氏吸虱属（Fulicoffula sp.）；以及六种胃肠蠕虫：嗜鹁异刺线虫（Heterakis psophiae）、苍鹭前盲囊线虫（Porrocaecum ardeae）、四棱线虫属（Tetrameres sp.）、毛细线虫属（Capillaria sp.）、双睾属（Diorchis sp.）和斜吻棘头虫属（Plagiorhynchus sp.）。所发现的相对较高的寄生虫丰富度可能归因于湿地对寄生虫发育极为有利的条件。除羽虱外，所有发现的寄生虫都是铅色秧鸡的新记录。本文列出了铅色秧鸡的寄生虫清单。
