COLAS, M; LARRAMENDY, Rocío  y  MERINO, A. HISTOPATHOLOGICAL EVIDENCE IN A CUBAN FINE ROOSTER INFESTED BY Dispharynx nasuta. Rev Salud Anim. [online]. 2010, vol.32, n.2, pp. 128-131. ISSN 0253-570X.

In order to study the histopathological changes caused by Dispharynx nasuta in a Cuban fine rooster, the animal was slaughtered by bleeding and cervical spinal section necropsied. The macroscopic detailed description of each organ and tissue was made. A piece of 1cm² of proventriculus was conserved in formalin solution 10%, and the rest of proventricular duct was collected in sterile Petri dish. It was evidenced, for the first time in our conditions, the microscopic morphological damage caused by a severe helminthiasis caused by D. nasuta on this type of host. The prevalence and intensity of parasitism were also calculated (100 and 4.0 %, respectively).

Palabras clave : Dispharynx nasuta; Acuarioidea.
