- Primer informe de Metroliasthes lucida (CESTODA: DILEPIDIDAE) en Guajolote Silvestre Río Grande de Nuevo León, México Sandra Lucía Ángeles Rebolloso Amorita Ivonne Salas Westphal Laura M. Scott Morales Multidisciplinaria (Ciencias Naturales y Exactas) MÉXICO CESTODA PARASITE NUEVO LEÓN DILEPIDIDAE We analyzed 28 digestive tracts of Rio Grande wild turkeys (Meleagris/gallopavo intermedia) of adult males donatedby hunters during the game seasons (March - April) from 2000 to 2003, in the Campo Santa Maria municipalityof Lampazos de Naranjo, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. There were found 462 cestodes of the species Metroliasthes lucida(Family Dilepididae). The importance of this study is to notify the possible limiting factors, of this host, present inthe ecosystem, since it is a bird of hunting relevance. Little is known in Mexico on how this cestode affects his host.Macroscopic lesions were not found in the small intestine, neither some pathogenic signs associated with the presenceof the parasite. As a result of the massive infestation presented in a wild turkey, it is suggested that they couldcause intestinal occlusion. This is the fi rst report of Metroliasthes lucida for Rio Grande wild turkey of Nuevo Leon,Mexico. 2006 artículo científico 0301-5092 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=42337209 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=423 Veterinaria México application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Veterinaria México (México) Num.2 Vol.37
