Nasal mites (Mesostigmata: Rhinonyssidae) are obligatory endoparasites of birds, and the resulting parasitism can be harmful to the host's respiratory system. The nasal mite Sternostoma tracheacolum Lawrence has caused significant respiratory issues, including serious injuries that possibly cause death of the host. In this study, we report two cases of captive birds parasitized by S. tracheacolum. The first case is a histopathological description of S. tracheacolum parasitizing the Gouldian Finch (Chloebia gouldiae) in the southeast region of Brazil, that showed partially or totally absence of the characteristic respiratory epithelium in trachea lumen. The other describes, for the first time, the parasitism of this species in a canary (Serinus canaria) in the northeast region of the country.
鼻螨（中气门目：鼻螨科）是鸟类的专性体内寄生虫，由此产生的寄生现象可能对宿主的呼吸系统有害。鼻螨气管嗜气螨（Sternostoma tracheacolum Lawrence）已引发严重的呼吸问题，包括可能导致宿主死亡的严重损伤。在本研究中，我们报告了两例被气管嗜气螨寄生的圈养鸟类病例。第一例是气管嗜气螨寄生在巴西东南部的胡锦鸟（Chloebia gouldiae）的组织病理学描述，显示气管腔内部分或完全缺乏特征性呼吸上皮。另一例首次描述了该物种在该国东北部一只金丝雀（Serinus canaria）体内的寄生情况。
