Abstract
Investigation of the gastrointestinal tract of fifteen greater flamingo
(Phoenicopterus ruber roseus) at Giza Zoo, Egypt revealed that it was
infected with five species of short cestodes belonging to three families
of order Cyclophyllidea (two spp. Belonging to F.Hymenolepididae,
two spp. Belonging to F.Progynotaeniidae and one sp. belonging to F.
Metadilepididae). The recoverd Hymenolepidean cestoda were Sobolevicanthus
gracilis and Cladogynia phoeniconaiadis with prevalence
rate 20% for each while the detected Progynotaeniidean cestoda were
Gynandrotaenia stammeri and Leptotaenia ischnorhyncha with infection
rate 13.3% for each. Meanwhile, the only recorded Metadilepidean
cestode was Yapolepis sp. with prevalence 26.7%. The morphological
features of those cestodes were discused. This study provides the first
record of S. gracilis, G. stammeri, L. ischnorhyncha and Yapolepis sp.
In Giza Zoo, Egypt.
