Occurrence of endoparasites in hedgehogs (Sphiggurus insidiosus) and black hedgehog (Chaetomys subspinosus)
Abstract
Were necropsied eleven wild porcupines (Sphiggurus insidiosus and Chaetomys subspinosus) from roadkill occurred at Rodovia do Sol, ES-060. Necropsies consisted of direct observation of endoparasites by opening the gastrointestinal system and collecting the content. Were collected and analyzed, the gastric contents, the small and large intestine contents, and fecal examinations performed of flotation with saturated salt, sulfate solution of zinc and simple sedimentation. Of all individuals, 3 were positive for endoparasites, obtaining as finding Nematode’s eggs.
