Helminth parasites of four species of strigiform birds from Central and Northeastern Argentina

The helminthofauna of eight specimens of four species of strigiform birds from Central and Northeastern Argentina was studied. From all the specimens studied, the 75 % were positive for helminths. Seven taxa, that were previously known, are briefly described, and seven new host-parasite associations...

description The helminthofauna of eight specimens of four species of strigiform birds from Central and Northeastern Argentina was studied. From all the specimens studied, the 75 % were positive for helminths. Seven taxa, that were previously known, are briefly described, and seven new host-parasite associations are reported: the strigeid digeneans Australapatemon magnacetabulum, and Strigea falconis brasiliana, and the acuariid nematode Synhimantus (Synhimantus) cf. laticeps (Acuaridae) associated with Asio clamator; the diplostomid digenea Neodiplostomum travassosi and the centrorhynchid acanthocephalan Centrorhynchus sp. parasitizing Athene cunicularia; the strigeid digenean Strigea magniova associated with Tyto alba; and the seuratid nematode Skrjabinura sp. parasitizing Megascops choliba. The host-parasite relationships are discussed through the analysis of host-specificity, diet of birds and life cycle of helminths. The richness of helminth taxa of strigiforms studied was moderate (1-3 species by host) and the infection intensity very low (1-3). Five taxa, out of seven, are considered “bird generalist” and the remaining two, “raptor generalist”.
