Intestinal loops of birds captured in the Zoobotanical Park (PZ) and deposited and cataloged in the Laboratory of Ornithology were used for the taxonomic identification of specimens of parasites found in forest fragments. After opening these intestinal loops, material for laboratory tests was collected and processed. This process allowed a survey of the main intestinal parasites that affect birds in PZ/UFAC-Acre. Through the knowledge of these diseases, it was possible to safeguard the health of the animals. The parasitological examination of the species found allowed: to carry out an epidemiological and sanitary survey of endoparasites in birds; observe the diseases presented from the clinical and laboratory point of view; identify possible zoonoses and reuse the material collected for the purposes of studies and assembly of a didactic-scientific collection of the main helminth infections of wild birds in the State. Of the birds collected there is a predominance of the species Turdus ignobilis, with six specimens. Among the endoparasites identified, Coccidia and Entamoeba sp. stood out, with incidences of 41% and 20%, respectively. Both are of great zoonotic importance, as they can contaminate people who meet these birds, causing diarrhea and weight loss.
