Abstract

Among the various sanitary problems affecting birds, parasitic diseases are some of the most common ones. This study analyses the prevalence of endoparasites in 20 fecal samples of wild and exotic birds attended at the Ornitopathology and Parasitic Diseases Laboratories of the Veterinary Hospital, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Zootecnics, São Paulo State University (FMVZ-UNESP), campus Botucatu. After confirmation of eggs, cysts or oocysts through direct fecal test, Faust technique and Willis Method were performed on feces. Eggs of three genera of nematodes as well as cysts of four genera of protozoaries were found in five of 12 avian orders, with the order Passeriformes representing the most of the parasited individuals.

KEY WORDS: Birds, ornitopathology, parasitology.
