- Abstract
The article presents research that examines the prevalence of endoparasites and ectoparasites in captive psittacine in Italy. The study shows the higher prevalence of ectoparasites in pets when compared to farmed captive psittacines. It discovers the frequent parasite infestation of pet shop birds. Many pathogenic species responsible for the death of the infected animals are also determined.
