RESUMO:

Among the birds, the Amazon parrot (Amazona aestiva) arouses great interest mainly because of the ability to “imitate” the human voice, it belongs to the Order Psittaciformes, Family Psittacidae, Species Amazona aestiva, and is popularly known as the parrot, parrot. -common, Blue-fronted Parrot, among others. Illegal trade in this species represents a very significant number, although it is not on a list of extinction concerns, this number is very high and impacts the population of free-living parrots, coupled with habitat destruction resulting in the high number of parrots received. at CETAS-RJ. Although endoparasitosis is “common”, it is still a major concern of breeders and is related to poor management, hygiene, nutrition, genetic and inadequate environment, such factors must be worked out for effective control. There are a variety of helminths that parasitize birds, of which the main representative groups are nematodes and baskets. To perform the treatment it is necessary to identify the parasite and know its biological cycle, in addition to the parasite-host relationship, these are indispensable factors for effective control. It is essential to remember that the knowledge of zoonoses that affect such species is a very important factor for the Veterinarian to perform his role as a public health agent. The corpses of the birds analyzed were donated by CETAS-RJ, located in Seropédica (RJ), which has a frequency of natural death, around 200 individuals per year. External biometrics and necropsy of 30 birds were performed at the Animal Anatomy Laboratory. The parasites found were accounted for and identified by the UFRRJ Parasitology sector. Of the animals submitted to necropsy, 48% were infested, the parasites were identified as nematodes Capillaria spp. and Ascaridia spp. According to the results obtained, it can be concluded that worms are still a challenge for captive breeding, even though it is a relatively “common” issue, it is still responsible for a large number of animal deaths.
