| intestinal protozoan parasites with zoonotic potential in birds. | the aim of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of potentially zoonotic intestinal protozoan infections in exotic and wildlife brazilian birds. fecal samples from 207 birds of 45 species were examined. infections by balantidium sp., entamoeba sp., and blastocystis sp. were observed in 17 individuals (8.2%) of gnorimopsar chopi, oryzoborus angolensis, sporophila caerulescens, ramphastos toco, aratinga leucophtalmus, and pavo cristatus. | 2008 | 18663476 |
| on the identity of two species of proctophyllodidae (acari: astigmata: analgoidea) described by herbert f. berla in brazil, with a description of lamellodectes gen. nov. and a new species. | two proctophyllodid species described by herbert f. berla were studied, re-described and their generic status was re-evaluated. a new genus, lamellodectes gen. nov. (proctophyllodidae: pterodectinae), is erected to accommodate pterodectes ocelatus berla, 1960 from the white-collared foliage-gleaner, anabazenops fuscus (vieillot) (furnariidae), and a new species, l. distinctus sp. nov., from the double-collared seedeater, sporophila caerulescens (emberizidae). proctophyllodes minor berla, 1959a i ... | 2014 | 24870318 |
| [natural helminth infection in sicalis flaveola (linnaeus, 1766), by acuaria mayori lent, freitas and proença, 1945 (nematoda: acuarioidea) in brazil]. | this is the first report of a natural infection in the saffron finch sicalis flaveola (linnaeus, 1766) captured in brazil, with the establishment of a new host record for the acuarioid nematode acuaria mayori lent, freitas and proença, 1945, previously referred in cyanocorax chrysops (vieillot, 1818) from paraguay and sporophila caerulescens caerulescens (vieillot, 1823) and c. cyanomelas (wied, 1821) from brazil and myarchus nuttingi (ridgway, 1883) from costa rica. | 2007 | 16153343 |
| three new species of isospora schneider, 1881 (apicomplexa: eimeriidae) from the double-collared seed eater, sporophila caerulescens (passeriformes: emberizidae), from eastern brazil. | three isosporan species are described from the double-collared seedeater, sporophila caerulescens from eastern brazil. isospora sporophilae n. sp. oocysts spherical to subspherical; oocyst wall bi-layered, smooth, inner layer colorless to pale yellowish, 21.6 x 20.9 (19.20-23.20 x 18.40-22.60) microm, shape-index 1.03 +/- 0.02 (1-1.10), with no micropyle or oocyst residuum. polar bodies splinter-like or comma-like. sporocysts ovoidal, 15.2 x 10.6 (17.40-12.80 x 12.60-8.40) microm, shape-index 1. ... | 2005 | 16021301 |
| tiny bird, huge mystery-the possibly extinct hooded seedeater (sporophila melanops) is a capuchino with a melanistic cap. | known with certainty solely from a unique male specimen collected in central brazil in the first quarter of the 19th century, the critically endangered (possibly extinct) hooded seedeater sporophila melanops has been one of the great enigmas of neotropical ornithology, arguably the only one of a host of long-lost species from brazil to remain obstinately undiscovered. we reanalysed the morphology of the type specimen, as well as a female specimen postulated to represent the same taxon, and seque ... | 2016 | 27168078 |
| the vulnerable sporophila frontalis (verreaux) and haplospiza unicolor cabanis as new hosts for isospora sporophilae carvalho-filho, meireles, ribeiro & lopes, 2005 (eimeriidae) in brazil. | isospora sporophilae carvalho-filho, meireles, ribeiro & lopes, 2005 was morphologically and molecularly identified from the double-collared seedeater sporophila frontalis (verreaux), which is categorised as 'vulnerable' by the international union for conservation of nature and natural resources (iucn), and from the uniform finch haplospiza unicolor cabanis in conserved and anthropomorphic/fragmented areas of atlantic forest in the southeastern brazil. the oöcysts recovered from s. frontalis and ... | 2019 | 31077064 |
