Histopathology of Centrorhynchus globirostris (Acanthocephala: Centrorhynchidae) infecting the intestine of the pheasant crow, Centropus sinensis (Stephens) in Pakistan

The tissue pathology of the intestinal lining of a pheasant crow (Centropus sinensis) invaded by an acanthocephalan (Centrorhynchus globirostris) was studied from prepared slides. Prominent histopathology was evident viewing the infected tissue. There is extensive damage to the intestinal layers of the pheasant crow initiated by the multi hooked proboscis of the worm. The worm would often work ...

Nematodes (Porrocaecum depressum, Capillaria falconis, Microtetrameres sp. and Synhimantus hamatus) were the most prevalent parasites although cestodes (Paruterina rauschi) and acanthocephalans (Centrorhynchus conspectus) ...

Parasites of Psittaciformes and Accipitriformes in Paraíba state, northeastern Brazil.
