Abstract

The present study offers the first description of proventriculitis associated with the presence of gravid female nematodes of the genus Tetrameres (Nematoda: Tetrameridae) in 3 juvenile Magellanic penguins (Spheniscus magellanicus) found dead on the coast of Brazil. This study broadens knowledge on parasites associated with these hosts and the real impact of this association.
