Resumo: | One of the obstacles for ex situ conservation of wild and exotic animals are the diseases that affect them in captivity and, among them, the endoparasitoses, which are very frequent. The objective of this study is to report the occurrence of endoparasites in the fecal samples of animals from the Arruda Câmara Zoobotanical Park, at João Pessoa, Paraiba State, Brazil, as well as to identify significant statistical differences between the percentages of each parasite species found. To this end, 66 fecal samples were obtained from 50 species of animals including mammals, birds, and reptiles. Statistical differences between the percentages of each parasite species were obtained using the binomial test at 5% significance level. A total of 54.5% (36/66) of the fecal samples were positive (p=0.539), among which 80.5% (29/36) presented nematodes, followed by cestodes 19.4% (07/36), protozoans 13.9% (05/36), and mites 16.7% (06/36). This study reports for the first time the association of Balantidium sp. with Tapirus terrestris, Bertiella sp. with Alouatta caraya, Hymenolepis spp., and Aspiculuris spp. as spurious parasites in reptiles; and Entamoeba coli and Eimeria spp. with Iguana iguana in the northeastern part of the country. This study provides knowledge about some of the endoparasites that may occur in zoos in the northeastern region of the country, as well as in expanding the ecological data on wild and exotic animals. |

El objetivo de este estudio es reportar la ocurrencia de endoparásitos en las muestras fecales de animales del Parque Zoobotánico Arruda Câmara, en João Pessoa, Estado de Paraíba, Brasil, así como identificar diferencias estadísticas significativas entre los porcentajes de cada especie parasitaria encontrada. Para ello, se obtuvieron 66 muestras fecales de 50 especies de animales, incluidos mamíferos, aves y reptiles. Las diferencias estadísticas entre los porcentajes de cada especie de parásito se obtuvieron mediante la prueba binomial al nivel de significancia del 5%. El 54,5% (36/66) de las muestras fecales resultaron positivas (p = 0,539), de las cuales el 80,5% (29/36) presentaron nematodos, seguido de los cestodos 19,4% (07/36), protozoos 13,9% (05 / 36) y ácaros 16,7% (06/36). Este estudio reporta por primera vez la asociación de Balantidium sp. con Tapirus terrestris, Bertiella sp. con Alouatta caraya, Hymenolepis spp. y Aspiculuris spp. como parásitos espurios en reptiles; y Entamoeba coli y Eimeria spp. con Iguana iguana en el noreste del país. Este estudio brinda conocimiento sobre algunos de los endoparásitos que pueden ocurrir en los zoológicos de la región noreste del país, así como en la ampliación de los datos ecológicos sobre animales silvestres y exóticos.Resumo Um dos obstáculos da conservação ex situ de animais silvestres e exóticos são as doenças que os acometem em cativeiro e, dentre elas, as endoparasitoses são muito frequentes. O objetivo deste trabalho é relatar a ocorrência de endoparasitos em amostras fecais de animais do Parque Zoobotânico Arruda Câmara, em João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brasil, bem como identificar diferenças estatísticas significativas entre os percentuais de cada espécie de parasito encontrada. Para tanto, foram obtidas 66 amostras fecais de 50 espécies de animais, entre mamíferos, aves e répteis. As diferenças estatísticas entre as porcentagens de cada espécie de parasito foram obtidas pelo teste binomial com nível de significância de 5%. Um total de 54,5% (36/66) das amostras fecais foram positivas (p = 0,539), entre as quais 80,5% (29/36) eram de nematoides, seguidos de cestoides 19,4% (07/36), protozoários 13,9% (05/36), e ácaros 16,7% (06/36). Este estudo relata pela primeira vez a associação de Balantidium sp. em Tapirus terrestris, Bertiella sp. em Alouatta caraya, Hymenolepis spp. e Aspiculuris spp. como parasitas espúrios em répteis; e Entamoeba coli e Eimeria spp. com Iguana Iguana no nordeste do país.
