    Helmintos parásitos de Ardeidae en Valencia (España)
    (Murcia: Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2002) Nogueserola, María Luz; Navarro, Pilar; Lluch, Javier; Sin departamento asociado; Facultad de Biología
    El estudio parasitológico de 65 ejemplares de diferentes ardeidas pro cedentes de la Comunidad Valenciana (España): Ixobrychus minutus (Linnaeus, 1766), Nycticorax nycticorax (Linnaeus, 1758), Bubulcus ibis (Linnaeus, 1758), Egretta garzetta (Linnaeus, 1766), Ardea cinerea Linnaeus, 1758 y Ardea purpurea Linnaeus, 1766, ha permitido observar la parasitación de estos hospedadores por cinco trematodos: Nephrostomum sp., Ribeiroia ondatrae (Price, 1931), Prosthogonimusovatus (Rudolphi, 1803), Euclinostomum heterostomum (Rudolphi, 1808) y Apharyngostrigea cornu (Zeder,1800), dos cestodos: Cyclophyllidea gen.sp. y Neogryporhynchus cheilancristrotus (Wedl, 1855), y seis nematodos: Capillariidae gen.sp., Contracaecum yamaguti Mawson,1956, Desportesius spinulatus (Chabaud et Campana,1949), Desmidocercella numidica (Seurat,1920), Microtetrameres spiralis (Seurat,1915) y Avioserpens galliardi Chabaud et Campana, 1949. Los parásitos Nephrostomum sp., Ribeiroia ondatrae, Prosthogonimus ovatus, Euclinostomum heterostomum, Contracaecum yamaguti, Desportesius spinulatus y Avioserpens galliardi, constituyen primeras citas para la fauna española.

    Mode of attachment and pathology caused by Parorchites zederi in three species of pygoscelid pengüins: Pygoscelis papua, Pygoscelis adeliae and Pygoscelis Antarctica in Antarctica

    We identified and compared gross and microscopic lesions associated with the cestode, Parorchites zederi, in the digestive tracts of three species of penguins (Spheniscidae): the Chinstrap (Pygoscelis antarctica), Gentoo (Pygoscelis papua), and Ade´lie penguins (Pygoscelis adeliae). The gastrointestinal tracts of 79 recently dead individuals (71 chicks and eight adults) were collected in locations throughout the Antarctic Peninsula during summer field trips in 2006–09. Parorchites zederi was found in the small intestine of 37 animals (47%), and 23 (62%) of these had parasite-associated lesions. The cestodes were either free in the intestinal lumen, clustered within mucosal ulcers, or deeply embedded in the intestinal wall. Histopathologic changes were most severe in adult Gentoo Penguins and included transmural fibrogranulomatous enteritis, hemorrhage, and edema. This report of pathology associated with P. zederi in the digestive tracts of penguins can serve as reference to monitor health in Antarctic birds associated with environmental changes.
