背景:鸽子(Columbalivia)在包括伊朗在内的几个国家已被当作宠物饲养和饲养。外寄生虫被认为是生长迟缓的基本原因,降低了鸟类的活力和恶劣的条件。加拿大假喉虫是鸽子的重要外寄生虫之一,与致病性原生动物嗜血杆菌一样,是病原体向鸟类和人类传播的原因。
方法:一群家鸽在Shahrekord中包含50只鸽子,对伊朗西南部的外寄生虫进行了临床评估。去除外寄生虫。收集样本,然后转到沙雷科德大学寄生虫学实验室,Shahrekord,伊朗。
结果:使用双翅目蝇的诊断密钥,这些苍蝇被发现。这是在伊朗很少见的有关加拿大猪群感染鸽子的报道。侵染率为40%,风笛的侵染率高于女性,女性高于男性。
结论:风笛的出没率高于成人,这可能是风笛去除体外寄生虫的潜力较小的原因。
BACKGROUND: Pigeons (Columba livia) have been kept as pet and reared for food in several countries including Iran. Ectoparasites are regarded as the basic causes of retardation in growth, lowered vitality and poor conditions of the birds. Pseudolynchia canariensis a hippoboscidae fly is one of the important ectoparasites of pigeons and is responsible for the transmission of pathogens to birds and humans same as pathogenic protozoan Haemoproteus columbae.
METHODS: A herd of domestic pigeons contained 50 pigeons in Shahrekord, southwest Iran was evaluated clinically infested by ectoparasites. Ectoparasites were removed. The samples were collected and then referred to the Laboratory of Parasitology of Shahrekord University, Shahrekord, Iran.
RESULTS: Usin diagnostic key for diptera fly, these flies were find P. canariensis. This is a rare report of infestation of pigeons herd by P. canariensis in Iran. The infestation rate was 40% that rate of infestation in pipers was more than females and in females was more than males.
CONCLUSIONS: The rate of infested pipers was more than adults that maybe the less potential of pipers in removing of ectoparasites is reason of this higher rate.
