Ectoparasites of 18 free-living Cuban Ground Doves, Columbina passerina insularis (Columbiformes: Columbidae), captured in the National Zoological Park, Havana, Cuba, were identified. The collected ectoparasites included two species of lice (Phthiraptera: Ischnocera): Columbicola passerinae (77.1\%), and Physconelloides eurysema (50\%), as well as four species of feather mites (Astigmata: Falculiferidae): Pterophagus lomatus (83.3\%), Byersalges talpacoti (50\%), Byersalges phyllophorus (72.2\%), and Hyperaspidacarus tridentatus (27.7\%). Pterophagus lomatus, B. phyllophorus, and H. tridentatus represent new records for Cuba.

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.

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.

Comparative studies of parasites in sympatric bird species have been generally scarce. Parasitic infection/transmission can be spread in a number of ways that suggests possible direct and indirect, horizontal transmission between avian hosts. In order to determine whether two sympatric icterids from Central and Southern Chile share their parasite fauna (ecto- and endoparasites), we examined parasites of 27 Shiny Cowbirds, Molothrus bonariensis, and 28 Austral Blackbirds, Curaeus curaeus, including individuals captured in the wild and carcasses. We found that Shiny Cowbirds were infected with the chewing lice Brueelia bonariensis, Philopterus sp. 1, the feather mites Amerodectes molothrus, Proctophyllodes spp. (species 1 and 2), and the helminths Mediorhynchus papillosus, Plagiorhynchus sp., Dispharynx nasuta and Tetrameres paucispina, while Austral Blackbirds had the chewing lice Myrsidea sp., Philopterus sp. 2, the feather mites Proctophyllodes sp. 3, Amerodectes sp., and three helminths: Anonchotaenia sp., Capillaria sp. and M. papillosus. The flea Dasypsyllus (Neornipsyllus) cteniopus was found only on the Austral Blackbird. The only parasite species shared by both icterids was the acanthocephalan M. papillosus, possibly due to their feeding on the same intermediate insect hosts. With the exception of B. bonariensis and Philopterus sp. 1 found on the Shiny Cowbird, all species reported in this study represent new parasite-host
associations and new records of parasite diversity in Chile.

Parasitas do chupim Molothrus bonariensis e do p\ássaro-preto-austral Curaeus curaeus (Passeriformes: Icteridae) no Chile

Resumo
Estudos comparativos de parasitas em esp\écies de aves simp\átricas s\ão escassos. A infec\ç\ão/transmiss\ão de parasitas pode acontecer de diversas maneiras, incluindo poss\ível transmiss\ão direta, indireta ou horizontal entre as aves hospedeiras. Com o objetivo de determinar se dois icter\ídeos simp\átricos do centro e sul do Chile compartilham a sua fauna parasit\ária (ecto- e endoparasitas), foram examinados os parasitas de 27 chupins Molothrus bonariensis e 28 p\ássaros-pretos-austral Curaeus curaeus, incluindo indiv\íduos capturados com rede de neblina e em carca\ças. Nos chupins analisados, foram encontrados os piolhos de penas Brueelia bonariensis, Philopterus sp. 1, os \ácaros Amerodectes molothrus, Proctophyllodes spp. (esp\écie 1 e 2), e os helmintos Mediorhynchus papillosus, Plagiorhynchus sp., Dispharynx nasuta e Tetrameres paucispina. Em contraste, os p\ássarospretos-austral estavam infectados com os piolhos Myrsidea sp., Philopterus sp. 2, os \ácaros Proctophyllodes sp. 3, Amerodectes sp., e os helmintos Anonchotaenia sp., Capillaria sp. e M. papillosus. Adicionalmente, um esp\écime de p\ássaro-preto-austral estava parasitado pela pulga Dasypsyllus (Neornipsyllus) cteniopus. A \única esp\écie de parasita que foi encontrada nas duas esp\écies de aves foi o acantoc\éfalo M. papillosus, possivelmente devido ao fato de que ambas as aves se alimentam dos insetos que s\ão os hospedeiros intermedi\ários deste parasita. Exceto os registros de B. bonariensis e Philopterus sp. 1 encontrados no chupim, todas as esp\écies reportadas neste estudo correspondem \à novas associa\ç\ões de parasita/hospedeiro e novos registros para a diversidade parasitol\ógica do Chile.

A total of thirty Austral thrushes Turdus falcklandii Quoy \& Gaimard, 1824 (Turdidae) carcasses were brought to the Departamento de Ciencia Animal, Facultad de Ciencias Veterinarias, Universidad de Concepci\ón, to be examined for ecto- and endoparasites. Ectoparasites were found on 20\% (6/30) of the thrushes and belonged to species Brueelia magellanica Cichino, 1986 (Phthiraptera), Menacanthus eurysternus Burmeister, 1838 (Phthiraptera) and Tyrannidectes falcklandicus Mironov \& Gonz\ález-Acu\ña, 2011 (Acari). Endoparasites were isolated from 26.6\% (8/30) of the birds and identified as Lueheia inscripta Westrumb, 1821 (Acanthocephala), Plagiorhynchus cylindraceus Goeze, 1782 (Acanthocephala), Wardium sp. sensu Mayhew, 1925 (Cestoda), Dilepis undula (Cestoda) Schrank, 1788, and Zonorchis sp. (sensu Travassos, 1944) (Trematoda). To our knowledge, all endoparasites collected in this study are new records in T. falcklandii and expand their distributional range to Chile.

To describe the parasitic community of the Magellanic Horned Owl, Bubo magellanicus (Aves, Strigiformes), 19 carcasses from central Chile were analyzed. Ectoparasites were collected through plumage inspection, while endoparasites were collected through traditional techniques of parasitological necropsy. Sixteen owls were infected with at least one species of ectoparasite (84.21\%) or endoparasite (31.58\%). Eleven of 19 birds (57.89\%) harbored feather mites of the three species Pandalura cirrata (42.11\%), Glaucalges attenuatus (47.37\%), and Kramerella sp. (10.53\%), whereas 16 individuals (84.21\%) harbored the chewing louse Strigiphilus chilensis. Only six birds (31.58\%) were infected with helminths; the nematodes Capillaria tenuissima (26.32\%) and Dispharynx nasuta (5.26\%); the acanthocephalan Centrorhynchus spinosus (5.26\%); and the trematode Neodiplostomum sp. (5.26\%). Apart from S. chilensis, all parasites comprised new records for B. magellanicus.

Resumo:\ Para descrever a comunidade parasit\ária de coruja-orelhuda Bubo magellanicus (Aves, Strigiformes), foram analisados 19 carca\ças das aves do centro do Chile. Os ectoparasitos foram coletados inspecionando-se a plumagem e os endoparasitas extra\ídos por meio de t\écnicas tradicionais de necropsia parasitaria. Dezesseis corujas estavam infectadas com pelo menos uma esp\écie de ectoparasito (84,21\%) ou endoparasito (31,58\%). Onze de 19 aves (57,89\%) abrigavam nas penas \ácaros de tr\ês esp\écies: Pandalura cirrata (42,11\%), Glaucalges attenuatus (47,37\%) e Kramerella sp.
