he objective of this study was to detect helminth eggs and protozoan oocysts in samples of feces from birds of the order Passeriformes in Para State, Brazil. Fecal samples were collected individually from 403 passerine birds seized and kept in captivity in Para State. Samples were processed by the double centrifugation technique in saturated sucrose solution and the coccidial oocyst-positive samples were submitted to sporulation in potassium dichromate 2.0%. Helminth eggs and/or protozoan oocysts were observed in 43.18% (174/403) of the fecal samples examined. Coccidial oocysts were detected in 93.68% (163/174) of the positive samples, whereas helminth eggs were observed in 10.34% (18/174) of the positive samples. Oocyst sporulation occurred in 43.56% (71/163) of the samples, and only Isospora spp. oocysts were detected. Nematode eggs of the superfamilies Trichostrongyloidea (4.60%; 8/174), Ascaridoidea (0.57%; 1/174), and Trichuroidea (0.57%; 1/174) were diagnosed in the positive samples. Cestoda eggs were diagnosed in 2.87% (5/174), whereas Trematoda eggs were detected in 2.30% (4/174) of positive samples. Passerine birds seized and kept in captivity in the visited local presented parasitism by intestinal helminths and protozoan, with a predominance of infection with coccidia of the gender Isospora.

Pesquisa de rotavírus e endoparasitos em animais na comunidade quilombola do Abacatal, munícipio de Ananindeua, Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2010-05-31) MATOS, Jane Cecília Silveira de; MASCARENHAS, Joana D'Arc Pereira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5156164089432435
Rotaviruses (RVs) are the leading cause of acute diarrhea in children of low age, but also in young animals of various species. Are excreted in faeces and transmitted the fecal-oral route. Studies show that it is very important for epidemiological investigations to characterize samples of RVs isolated from animals. Intestinal parasites also pose a serious public health problem, being a major factor of morbidity and mortality in children and protein-energy malnutrition arising frameworks of chronic diarrhea. This study aimed to identify and endoparasites RVs circulating in dogs, cats and chickens Community Quilombola of Abacatal, Ananindeua, Pará. For the years 2008 and 2009 were collected 202 fecal samples, from dogs (96/2002, 47.5%), cats (8/2002, 4%) and chickens (98/2002, 48.5%). All samples were subjected to electrophoresis on immunochromatography and polyacrylamide gel for the identification of RVs, but in both cases we obtained 100% negativity. For the identification of endoparasites samples were subjected to a flotation technique with sucrose solution, the parasites most frequently found in dogs were Ancylostoma sp Spirocerca sp, Toxocara sp / Toxascaris sp, Trichuris sp and coccidio, and cats were Ancylostoma sp (5/8, 62,5%), Toxocara sp / sp Toxascaris (2/8, 25%) and Trichuris sp (1/8, 12,5%). In chickens were Ascaridia sp / sp Heterakis (33/62, 53,23%), Capillaria sp (39/62, 62,9%), Coccidio (6/62, 9,68%), Dispharynx sp (15/62, 24,19%) and Trichostrongyloidea sp (11/62, 17,74%). From the results, we concluded that the site poses a risk to human parasitic infestation, with the possibility of soil contamination by faeces and the development of zoonoses.
