The black stork (Ciconia nigra Linnaeus, 1758) is a recognized endangered species in Europe and most of the specimens from the Western Palearctic region breed in the Iberian Peninsula. Available works regarding parasites in black storks are scarce. This work reports the presence one ecto- and two endoparasite species from a black stork in Portugal.
A black stork was found in southern Portugal after colliding against electric cables. The specimen did not survive its sustained injuries and a post-mortem exam was performed. During the procedure, several ecto- and endoparasite specimens were found. The collected parasites were lice (Neophilopterus tricolor), nematodes (Desportesius sagittatus) and trematodes (Cathaemasia hians).
Three different species of parasites are reported from a black stork in Portugal. Ecto- and endoparasites of C. nigra have not frequently been described in the literature, and this case report is a contribution to the field. Additional studies will be important to better understand the impact that parasites can have on C. nigra health and survival.
黑鹳(Ciconia nigra Linnaeus,1758)是欧洲公认的濒危物种,西古北区的大多数标本在伊比利亚半岛繁殖。关于黑鹳体内寄生虫的现有研究很少。本文报道了在葡萄牙一只黑鹳身上发现的一种体外寄生虫和两种体内寄生虫。
在葡萄牙南部,一只黑鹳撞上电缆后被发现。该标本因伤势过重死亡,并进行了尸检。在检查过程中,发现了几种体外和体内寄生虫标本。收集到的寄生虫有虱子(三色新丝羽虱)、线虫(箭形德氏线虫)和吸虫(张口凯氏吸虫)。
本文报道了葡萄牙一只黑鹳身上的三种不同寄生虫。黑鹳的体外和体内寄生虫在文献中鲜有描述,本病例报告为该领域做出了贡献。进一步的研究对于更好地了解寄生虫对黑鹳健康和生存的影响至关重要。
