Cestode Parasites of Birds of Suborder Charadrii from Syvash Lake, Ukraine. Greben Î. B. — Twelve
birds species of the suborder Charadrii of the families Charadriidae, Recurvirostridae, Scolopacidae,
Glareolidae were examined at Syvash Lake (Ukraine) in spring 2011. Cestodes were found in 82.1 % of
examined birds. Seventeen cestode species of 6 families were found. Aploparaksis octacantha from Calidris
alpinà and Echinocotyloides dubininae from C. ferruginea are new geographical records for the first time in
Ukraine. Glareola pratincola is a new host record for Nadejdolepis paranitidulans. Cestodes of the genus
Microsomacanthus were found in waders apparently due to the infection (2.8 %) in their intermediate
hosts, gammarid crustaceans.

Helminth fauna of birds in Ukraine is rather completely studied, except for certain regions. One of them
is the salt Lake Syvash in the South of Ukraine. The routes of spring and fall bird migrations pass through the
Syvash region. At the same time, the lake is a bird nesting area. Waders are represented at Syvash better than
the birds of other orders (34 species of 51 species registered in Ukraine) (Chernichko, 2011).
Detailed studies of bird helminth fauna of Syvash have not been carried out. Only the paper by
Mashtakov (1964) reported on helminth parasites from gulls and terns in the region. The studies of the bird
helminthes in southern Ukraine took place mainly in the region of the Black Sea Biosphere Reserve and in
Crimea. Some data were collected in the Molochnyi estuary and Arabatskaya Strelka spit (Smogorzhevskaya
et al., 1978, 1988; Kornyushin, Greben, 2013). Syvash is interesting not only due to its great diversity of
birds but also because of the potential importance of revealing places where migratory birds can be infected
by helminths.
The aim of this work was to study the species composition of cestodes of waders which are present in
enormous numbers during spring migrations at Syvash Lake.
Material and methods
We examined birds that had occasionally died in ornithological mistnets in the course of ringing
procedures in Eastern and Central Syvash in the spring of 2011. Birds were examined by the method of the
complete helminthological dissection. Totally 39 individuals of birds belonging to 12 species were studied.
The invertebrates: gammarid crustaceans, talitrids and polychaetes were investigated. The material was
collected in the places of the bird capture. Larvae of the cestodes were found only in Gammarus sp.
The tapeworms were rinsed in saline, fixed in 70 % ethanol, stained with acetocarmine and Mayer’s
haematoxylin. After differentiation, the tapeworms were dehydrated in the ascending ethanol series, cleared
in clove oil and mounted in Canada balsam. Morphology of the scolex and cirrus was studied on temporary
mounts in glycerin and on the permanent mounts in Berlese’s medium.
Infection rates of the parasite species are given for each host species in parentheses. The prevalence is
presented as ratio of infected/examined birds, and the intensity is given as range. All measurements are in
micrometers unless otherwise stated.

Results
Thirty six specimens (92.3 %) of examined birds of Syvash were infected with
helminth parasites. Flatworms prevailed in the helminth fauna. Cestodes had the highest
prevalence, 82.1 %, and the prevalence of trematodes was 66.7 %. Nematodes were
rarely found (10.3 % of birds infected). Acanthocephalans were found only in one ruff
(Philomachus pugnax) — 2.6 %.
Cestodes of 17 species belonging to 6 families were recorded. Below we give the list
of cestode species found. Brief morphological descriptions are given only for the species,
which are new or rare for the fauna of Ukraine.

The species has been previously found in birds of the suborder Charadrii including
the Glareola spp. on the Black Sea Coast of Ukraine (Iskova, Kornyushin, 1966;
Kornyushin, 1965, 1967; Smogorzhevskaya, 1976; Smogorzhevskaya et al., 1978, 1988).

record of this species on the territory of Ukraine. Aploparaksis leonovi has been previously
found in C. minutus in Chernigiv oblast (Kornyushin, Greben, 2000). We consider it
possible that this species has been identified by Gąsowska as Aploparaksis pseudofilum Clerc,

A parasite of birds of the suborder Charadrii. In Ukraine it has been previously
found on the Black Sea Coast, in Crimea and in the Danube Delta (Kornyushin, 1967;
Saakova, 1952; Smogorzhevskaya, 1976; Smogorzhevskaya et al., 1978).

Hos t. R. avocetta (2/2; 37–93 specimens).
A common parasite of the Anseriformes, rarely of Charadriiformes, everywhere in
Ukraine (Smogorzhevskaya, 1976). Infection of avocet is accidental.
2. Microsomacanthus paramicrosoma (Gasowska, 1932) Yamaguti, 1959
Hos t . R. avocetta (2/2; 2–5 specimens).
A parasite of the Anseriformes. Previously, it has been found in numerous localities
in Ukraine (Smogorzhevskaya, 1976). Infection of avocets is accidental.
3. Nadejdolepis paranitidulans (Golikova, 1959) Spassky, 1962
Hos t s. C. ferruginea (1/6; 5 specimens); C. alpina (8/10; 5–52 specimens);
G. pratincola (1/1; 5 specimens).
In Ukraine this species has been previously recorded on the Black Sea Coast in
Charadrius alexandrinus (Kornyushin, 1967; Smogorzhevskaya, 1976; Smogorzhevskaya
et al., 1978). It is a parasite of the waders, rarely of gulls. Glareola pratincola is a new
host for the parasite.

In Ukraine, it has been previously found in the same host on the Black Sea
Coast but identified as Gyrocoelia paradoxa (Linstow, 1906) (Kornyushin, 1965, 1967;
Smogorzhevskaya, 1976; Smogorzhevskaya et al., 1978, 1988).

7Cestode Parasites of Birds of Suborder Charadrii…
Discussion
In the present study, two out of 17 identified cestodes species A. octacantha and
E. dubinini, were recorded for the first time in Ukraine. Glareola pratincola is a new host
record for N. paranitidulans.
Cestodes of the genus Microsomacanthus, which are common parasites of anatids,
were found in R. avocetta in the present study. Infection avocets by Microsomacanthus
is obviously accidental. Intensity of infection was rather high (2–93 specimens), but
all the specimens found were young. Such a high level of infection is apparently due
to the infection of intermediate hosts, gammarid crustaceans. The larvae of the genus
Microsomacanthus were found in 17 specimens of 601 examined gammarids (2.8 %) with
the intensity 1–63 specimens. Gammarid crustaceans apparently are a significant part of
the diet not only of anatids but also of avocets in Syvash.
Twelve of 17 registered cestodes species were found in migratory birds. The presence of
young strobilae in spring shows that the infection of the birds of the suborder Charadrii takes
place during the migration, thus the range of some northern species (A. leonovi, A. octacantha,
A. stricta, E. dubinini, N. paranitidulans) is broader than it was previously considered. Therefore,
bird migrations contribute to the spread of helminth parasites, particularly cestodes.
We are grateful to Professor I. I. Chernichko and O. I. Lisicina for their help in collecting the material
and also to Professor V. V. Kornyushin for his help in identification of the material.
