Parasitological studies of the Franklin\&$\#$39;s gull, Leucophaeus pipixcan, are scarce, and knowledge about its endoparasites is quite limited. In order to describe its parasitic community, a total of 60 Franklin\’s gulls were captured in the coastal area in central Chile, using modified Bal-chatri traps. Ectoparasites were collected from all 60 live individuals through inspection of their plumage, while 30 were examined for endoparasites by standard parasitological necropsy. The prevalence of ectoparasites was 78.3\%, including the feather mite Zachvatkinia larica (43.3\%) and four species of lice: Actornithophilus piceus lari (15.0\%), Austromenopon transversum (6.7\%), Quadraceps punctatus (10.0\%) and Saemundssonia lari (46.7\%). Some 25 of 30 (83.3\%) of birds necropsied were parasitized with the following helminths: Aporchis sp. (6.7\%), Tetrabothrius cylindraceus (56.7\%), Cyclophyllidea gen. sp. (3.3\%), Profilicollis altmani (56.7\%), Eucoleus contortus (10.0\%), Cosmocephalus obvelatus (13.3\%), Paracuaria adunca (10.0\%), Stegophorus sp. (3.3\%) and Tetrameres skrjabini (3.3\%). To our knowledge, with the exception of P. altmani, these helminths are reported for first time in the Franklin\&$\#$39;s gull.

Resumo

Existem escassos estudos de parasitismo em gaivota-de-Franklin Leucophaeus pipixcan, e o conhecimento sobre seus endoparasitas \é ainda mais limitado. Com o objetivo de descrever sua comunidade parasitaria, um total de 60 gaivotas-de-Franklin foram capturadas usando-se armadilhas Bal-chatri numa zona costeira do centro do Chile. A pesquisa de ectoparasitas foi realizada em todos os indiv\íduos capturados e, para os endoparasitas, foram examinados 30 deles por necropsias. A preval\ência de ectoparasitas foi de 78,3\%, inclu\índo o \ácaro de pena Zachvatkinia larica (43,3\%) e outras quatro esp\écies de piolhos, Actornithophilus piceus lari (15,0\%), Austromenopon transversum (6,7\%), Quadraceps punctatus (10,0\%) e Saemundssonia lari (46,7\%). Das aves necropsiadas, 83,3\% estavam parasitadas por helmintos, sendo registrados Aporchis sp. (6,7\%), Tetrabothrius cylindraceus (56,7\%), Cyclophyllidea gen. sp. (3,3\%), Profilicollis altmani (56,7\%), Eucoleus contortus (10,0\%), Cosmocephalus obvelatus (13,3\%), Paracuaria adunca (10,0\%), Stegophorus sp. (3,3\%) e Tetrameres skrjabini (3,3\%). Com exce\ç\ão de P. altmani, este \é o primeiro relato desses helmintos parasitando gaivotas-de-Franklin.

Six species of lice (Phthiraptera: Philopteridae, Menoponidae) were collected from four marine bird species belonging to the family Laridae from the Chilean coast. Saemundssonia sternae (Linnaeus, 1758) and Quadraceps sellatus (Burmeister, 1838) collected from the boreal sea gull (Sterna hirundo, Linnaeus,1758), Saemundssonia lari (O. fabricius, 1780), Quadraceps punctatus (Burmeister, 1838) and Q. ornatus (Grube, 1851) found on the Dominican sea gull (Larus dominicanus, Lichtenstein, 1832); Q. punctatus collected from garuma sea gull (L. modestus Tschudi, 1843) and S. lari and Actornithophilus piceus lari (Packard,1870) found on Franklin sea gull (L. pipixcan Wagler,1831). All these species of Phthiraptera are first reports in Chile.
