Wild birds host a wide variety of endoparasites. These endoparasites are important because they cancause serious infections in birds. The present study aimed to conduct copro-parasitological survey inwild captured the Cazumbá-Iracema Extractive Reserve (Resex) located county SenaMadureira, State Acre, northern Brazil. In order capture these birds, ornithological mist nets wereplaced different ecosystems Resex. Captured were identified and held cloth sacks for30 min. Fecal samples, from each...

In Brazil, species of the genus Ramphocelus with presence various endoparasites have already been reported. Coccidia parasites most frequently found. All this similar habitats and ecological niches, which makes parasite transmission easy. The aim study was to diagnose in fecal samples from specimens carbo that were caught Cazumbá-Iracema Extractive Reserve (Cazumbá Resex), State Acre. (n = 30) mist nets arranged different ecosystems Reserve. After identification, bird placed cloth bags for a...

This study aimed to expand knowledge about tick parasitism on wild birds in western Amazonia and provide additional records of species parasitized by ticks the state Acre. Birds were captured with mist nets from September 2016 February 2017 at Fazenda Experimental Catuaba, Senador Guiomard, Acre State, Brazil, identified, thoroughly inspected. Detected removed tweezers, stored labeled collectors containing 70% alcohol, identified using a stereomicroscope incident lighting taxonomic keys...

Resumo A criação de pacas (Cuniculus paca Linnaeus, 1766) vem se desenvolvendo em toda América Latina. Com o objetivo acompanhar manejo sanitário, determinar a prevalência parasitas gastrointestinais criadas cativeiro, sua carga parasitária e avaliar estratégias utilizadas seus controles, entre os meses novembro/2012 junho/2013, amostras fezes frescas no solo foram coletadas analisadas, utilizando-se as técnicas Willis Mollay Hoffmann. Para quantificação, utilizou-se câmera McMaster. leitura...

This study was developed at the Campus (C) and Zoo-botanical Park (PZ) Federal University of Acre, with purpose identifying endoparasites in avifauna those locations. The birds were captured using 10 mist nets. nets set from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.. faecal samples collected stored Merthiolate, Iodine Formaldehyde (MIF). Willies direct methods used for diagnostic endoparasites. Two hundred eighty-seven captured, 34 recaptures, which resulted 253 different specimens – 158 on campus 95 PZ. caught 58...

The ticks of the family Ixodidae are haematophagous mites that known to parasitize an ample variety vertebrates. present study investigated associated with free-ranging reptiles in state Acre, western Brazilian Amazon. These were captured and identified between 2007 2013 during active searches, through occasional encounters, municipalities Rio Branco, Plácido de Castro, Senador Guiomard. tick specimens preserved 70% alcohol using a stereomicroscope taxonomic keys. sampled included one lizard...

Abstract The helminth Echinococcus vogeliRausch & Bernstein, 1972 is a causative agent of Neotropical Echinococcosis, chronic zoonotic disease which endemic to the region. This parasite transmitted from bush dogs (Speothos venaticus) their prey, include lowland pacas (Cuniculus paca) and agoutis (Dasyprocta spp.). In Brazil, most human cases Echinococcosis have been recorded in Amazonian states Acre Pará, although few data are available on occurrence potential definitive or intermediate...
