Abstract

Various species of nematodes and acanthocephalans are frequently encountered in birds from the genus Buteo. In Romania, three species of buzzards are present: the Eurasian buzzard (Buteo buteo), the long-legged buzzard (B. rufinus), and the rough-legged buzzard (B. lagopus). This study represents the first comprehensive research on roundworms and acanthocephalans parasitizing birds from genus Buteo in Romania. Between 2017 and 2024, 88 Eurasian buzzards, two long-legged buzzards, and three rough-legged buzzards which were found dead were collected from various localities in Romania. All specimens were necropsied and examined for nematodes and acanthocephalans, which later on were divided equally and preserved in 100 % ethanol for molecular identification and 4 % formaldehyde for morphological identification. Morphological identification revealed three species of acanthocephalans from the family Centrorhynchidae and 12 species of nematodes belonging to seven families: four species from Capillariidae, two species from each Tetrameridae and Toxocaridae, and one species from each Acuariidae, Habronematidae, Physalopteridae, and Syngamidae families. This study provides new data about the diversity of nematodes and acanthocephalan parasitizing B. buteo, B. lagopus and B. rufinus in Romania. To our best knowledge, this study reports B. lagopus as a new host for Eucoleus contortus, Procyrnea leptoptera, and Microtetrameres sp. and B. rufinus as a new host of P. leptoptera.

秃鹰的线虫和棘头目动物(Buteo科):欧洲物种清单和罗马尼亚新宿主-寄生虫关联
各种各样的线虫和棘头类动物经常在Buteo属的鸟类中遇到。在罗马尼亚,有三种秃鹰:欧亚秃鹰(Buteo Buteo)、长腿秃鹰(B. rufinus)和粗腿秃鹰(B. lagopus)。本研究首次对罗马尼亚Buteo属的蛔虫和棘头虫寄生鸟类进行了综合研究。2017年至2024年间,在罗马尼亚各地收集了88只欧亚秃鹫,两只长腿秃鹫和三只粗腿秃鹫,这些秃鹫被发现死亡。对所有标本进行尸检,检查是否有线虫和棘头类动物,然后将它们平均分开,分别保存在100%乙醇中进行分子鉴定和4%甲醛中进行形态鉴定。形态鉴定发现棘头目棘球蚴属棘球蚴科3种,线虫属7科12种,其中毛线虫科4种,四片线虫科和弓形线虫科各2种,棘球线虫科、棘球线虫科、棘球线虫科、棘球线虫科各1种。本研究为罗马尼亚布氏小蠊、lagopus小蠊和rufinus小蠊寄生的线虫和棘头虫的多样性提供了新的资料。据我们所知,本研究报道了B. lagopus作为柔桉(Eucoleus contortus)、瘦翅原虫(Procyrnea leptoptera)和Microtetrameres sp.的新寄主,B. rufinus作为瘦翅原虫的新寄主。

期刊介绍: Veterinary Parasitology: Regional Studies and Reports focuses on aspects of veterinary parasitology that are of regional concern, which is especially important in this era of climate change and the rapid and often unconstrained travel of people and animals. Relative to regions, this journal will accept papers of the highest quality dealing with all aspects of disease prevention, pathology, treatment, epidemiology, and control of parasites within the field of veterinary medicine. Also, case reports will be considered as they add to information related to local disease and its control; such papers must be concise and represent appropriate medical intervention. Papers on veterinary parasitology from wildlife species are acceptable, but only if they relate to the practice of veterinary medicine. Studies on vector-borne bacterial and viral agents are suitable, but only if the paper deals with vector transmission of these organisms to domesticated animals. Studies dealing with parasite control by means of natural products, both in vivo and in vitro, are more suited for one of the many journals that now specialize in papers of this type. However, due to the regional nature of much of this research, submissions may be considered based upon a case being made by the author(s) to the Editor. Circumstances relating to animal experimentation must meet the International Guiding Principles for Biomedical Research Involving Animals as issued by the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (obtainable from: Executive Secretary C.I.O.M.S., c/o W.H.O., Via Appia, CH-1211 Geneva 27, Switzerland).
