Zusammenfassung

Im Basler Zoo werden zahlreiche Vogelarten in Gehegen mit möglichem Kontakt zu Wildvögeln gehalten. Untersuchungen von abgeschossenen oder tot aufgefundenen frei fliegenden Vögeln ergaben in 75% der Fälle einen Nachweis von Parasitenbefall. Dagegen wiesen nur vereinzelte Zoovögel eine Infestation auf.

Dafür scheinen die ausgeprägte Artspezifität der Parasiten und die Haltungsbedingungen im Zoo verantwortlich zu sein.

Abstract

In Basel Zoo many birds are kept in open cages where transmission of parasites from free living birds is easily possible. Contrary to the 75% infestation of the examined free living birds parasites in zoo birds were rather rare. These results were obtained by continuous control of captured or shot free-living birds and periodical examinations of feces from cages or individual birds as well as findings in autopsies. Distinct host specifity of the parasites found and management are the supposed reason for these results.
