Abstract(s)
Os psitacídeos são aves de estimação muito populares e distribuídas mundialmente, embora estejam
presentes principalmente em regiões tropicais. No entanto, a coccidiose é pouco descrita nessas aves.
As coccídeas pertencem ao filo Apicomplexa e são descritas em psitacídeos, embora sejam
identificadas poucas espécies com importância em psitacídeos. A coccidiose pode ser intestinal ou
extraintestinal e muitas vezes apresenta-se com sintomas não específicos, como diarreia sanguinolenta
ou mucoide, apatia e perda de peso. O diagnóstico é geralmente realizado a partir de oocistos
presentes nas fezes. O tratamento é baseado em anticoccidiano específico para o parasita e o controlo
requer uma boa higiene e um exame coprológico.
O objetivo deste trabalho é desenvolver uma revisão bibliográfica sobre a coccidiose em psitacídeos.
Psittacidea are very popular domestic birds, they can be found worldwide even though they are mostly present in the tropical regions. Nevertheless, coccidiosis is not much described for those birds. Coccidia belongs to the Apicomplexa branch and is described regarding Psittacidae, although few species are identified. Coccidiosis can be intestinal or extra-intestinal, it often presents few specific symptoms like bloody diarrhea, mucoid, apathy or weight loss. The diagnosis is often made from the oocysts found in the stool. The treatment is based on anticoccidial specific to the parasite and control requires a good hygiene and a coprological examination. The purpose of this work is to establish a bibliographic review on the current knowledge of coccidiosis in Psittacidae.
