First report on centrorhynchus aluconis in common buzzard (buteo buteo) in northwest Iran

Abstract

In July 2012 a male Common Buzzard (Bute obuteo) from the Department of Environment of East Azerbaijan was sent to the Parasitology Laboratory at the School of Specialized Sciences of Veterinary Medicine, Science and Research Unit, Tehran Islamic Azad University. Gastrointestinal parasites were isolated and sent to the Iranian National Parasitology Museum in order to specify the diagnosis. It was determined that the bird was infected with the acanthocephalan Centrorhynchu saluconis. This is the first report of Common Buzzard infestation with this parasite in Iran.

Tokom jula 2012. mužjak orla mišara (Buteo buteo) je poslat iz Departmana za životnu sredinu istočnog Azarbejdžana u Laboratoriju za parazitologiju Škole za specijalizovane nauke veterinarske medicine, Odeljenje za nauku i istraživanja, Teheranski islamski Azad univerzitet. Izolovani gastrointestinalni paraziti su poslati radi specifi - kacije i dijagnostike u Nacionalni parazitološki muzej. Utvrđeno je da je ptica zaražena sa Centrorhynchus aluconis. U prikazu prvog slučaja dat je opis infestacije orla mišara parazitom Centrorhynchus aluconis, na području Irana.
