Abstract

Endoparasitism continues to be a significant factor in avian health care for both clinicians and aviculturists. The motile enteric protozoal parasites comprise a fairly finite but markedly significant group of potential and active pathogens whose presence require accurate diagnosis and treatment. Several organisms in this group are considered to be endemic in various groups or species of birds and are common enough to warrant routine investigation, both on acquisition as well as during annual reexamination. Perhaps more significant, in the general picture of avian health and disease, is the role of these unicellular, motile parasites as sentinel organisms whose presence dictates a review of their relationship to the overall medical management of the bird(s) in question.
