Description

<p>　Total 101 fecal samples were collected from the wild birds which were protected at Kochi Prefecture. These were examined by sugar floatation method. Consequently, 29.7％ of feces were parasitologically positive; 20.8% of Eimeria and/or Isospora type oocysts, and 8.9% of Capillarid or Ascarid spp. Transmitted stages of these parasites could survive in the environments for a while after being shedded in feces. These results suggested that in the past, these infected birds directly or indirectly contacted with feces contaminated with the parasites.</p>
