Abstract

Objective. The aim of this study was to identify the prevalence of endoparasites and ectoparasites in ex situ snakes at the Barranquilla Zoo. Materials and Methods. Stool samples and ectoparasites of 2 colubrids (Leptophis ahaetulla and Spilotes pullatus), 2 diapsids (Oxybelys aeneus and Thamnodynastes paraguanae) and 13 boids (9 specimens of Boa constrictor, 2 of Epicrates maurus and 2 Eunectes murinus) were analyzed using flotation method in saturated sugar solution and direct observation. Results. The results showed that 65% (11/17) of the animals were positive to the presence of parasites. In relation to the positive specimens, 91% (10/11) belong to the Boidae family, presenting mostly nematodes, in the dipsadid’s samples mainly protozoans were observed and the colubrid’s samples were negative. Regarding ectoparasites, 2 species of ticks (Amblyomma dissimile and Ornothodoros turicata) were found in specimens of Boa constrictor, Epicrates maurus and Spilotes pullatus. Conclusions. The identification of parasites in this research represents a contribution to the study of parasitology in snakes ex situ in Colombia. It provides information to develop preventive measures against pathological agents and allows comparing results with other studies with animals in the wild and under human care.

哥伦比亚巴兰基利亚迁地蛇内寄生虫和外寄生虫的流行情况。

目标。本研究的目的是确定在巴兰基亚动物园的非原位蛇内寄生虫和外寄生虫的流行。材料与方法。采用饱和糖液浮选法和直接观察的方法，对2种粪虫(斑点细腹虫和白斑细腹虫)、2种蝶虫(斑点细腹虫和巴拉圭黄腹虫)和13种虫(蟒蛇9种、毛鳞虫2种、鼠背虫2种)的粪便样本和体外寄生虫进行了分析。结果。结果显示，65%(11/17)的动物寄生虫呈阳性。阳性标本中91%(10/11)为波伊达科，以线虫为主，双翅虫标本中以原生动物为主，杂交虫标本为阴性。体外寄生虫方面，在大蟒蛇、毛鼠和白斑Spilotes pullatus标本中发现2种蜱(Amblyomma disensis和Ornothodoros turicata)。结论。本研究中寄生虫的鉴定对哥伦比亚非原生境蛇的寄生虫学研究作出了贡献。它为制定针对病理因子的预防措施提供了信息，并允许将结果与其他在野生动物和人类护理下进行的研究进行比较。

期刊介绍： The Journal MVZ Córdoba is an open access international scientific journal financed and edited by the University of Córdoba (Colombia). The journal publishes quarterly, continuously in PDF, XML, Epub, original articles, literature reviews, brief communications and clinical cases, peer-reviewed (double-blind) in Spanish and English, which are related to the agricultural and veterinary sciences. The journal is directed to natural and legal persons of veterinary medicine, animal husbandry, public health, epidemiology, aquaculture, biology, basic biomedical sciences and biotechnology and constitutes a space for academic and scientific discussion around the work of professionals in Veterinary Medicine and Zootechnics. Four-monthly publication. "The Journal MVZ Córdoba supports the policies for registration of clinical trials of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), since it recognizes the importance of these initiatives for international registration and dissemination. of information about clinical studies, in open access. As a result, since 2007, the journal MVZ Córdoba only publishes clinical research articles that have received an identification number in one of the Clinical Trial Registries validated by the criteria established by WHO and ICMJE, whose addresses are available in the ICMJE website. The identification number is recorded at the end of the summary. "
