      We report a case of air sac nematode (Serratospiculum tendo) infection in an adult male Austral Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus cassini) admitted to a rehabilitation center in Mendoza Province, Argentina, in September 2017.

We recommend examination of all raptors, especially those falcon species that include insects in their diet and inhabit open lands and those in rehabilitation centers or kept for falconry, education, or captive breeding.

This zoonotic nematode is frequently asymptomatic in horses, except during its erratic migrations. Filarial worms have a tropism for ocular and nervous tissues, having important implications in veterinary and public health. In mid west Argentina, Dirofilaria immitis has already been described affecting a woman and dogs. There are no ...
