A tropical screech owl nestling was rescued and admitted for hand-rearing. The animal was kept hospitalized for five months. It was fed a diet based on Zophobas morio larvae and thawed chicken breast meat with vitamin and mineral supplements. On the 37th day of hacking training for release, the owl showed weakness, lack of appetite, regurgitation, cachexia, dyspnea, ruffled feathers, dry droppings in the vent and pericloaca, and diarrhea. The parasitological examination showed eggs of the Diplotriaenoidea superfamily in the feces. The therapy employed included oxytetracycline, sulfamethoxazole, mebendazole, Potenay, sodium chloride 0.9%, and Mercepton. However, five days after starting the treatment, the bird died. Upon necropsy, prominence of the keel, pieces of undigested food in the oral cavity and proventriculus, intestinal gas, and thickened and turbid air sacs were found. The microbiological analysis of air sacs identified Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Enterobacter aerogenes. Histopathological examination showed heterophilic bacterial airsacculitis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ani13172750","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,30]],"date-time":"2023-08-30T09:48:15Z","timestamp":1693388895000},"page":"2750","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Airsacculitis Caused by Enterobacteria and Occurrence of Eggs of the Superfamily Diplotriaenoidea in Feces of Tropical Screech Owl (Megascops choliba) in the Amazon Biome"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2222-0680","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hanna Gabriela da Silva","family":"Oliveira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Medicina Veterin\u00e1ria, Universidade Federal do Par\u00e1, Castanhal 68740-970, PA, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rafaelle Cunha dos","family":"Santos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Medicina Veterin\u00e1ria, Universidade Federal do Par\u00e1, Castanhal 68740-970, PA, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cinthia T\u00e1vora de Albuquerque","family":"Lopes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Medicina Veterin\u00e1ria, Universidade Federal do Par\u00e1, Castanhal 68740-970, PA, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ananda Iara de Jesus","family":"Souza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Medicina Veterin\u00e1ria, Universidade Federal do Par\u00e1, Castanhal 68740-970, PA, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"D\u00e9bora da Vera Cruz","family":"Almeida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Medicina Veterin\u00e1ria, Universidade Federal do Par\u00e1, Castanhal 68740-970, PA, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2681-0736","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sarah Raphaella Rocha de Azevedo","family":"Scalercio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro Nacional de Primatas, Instituto Evandro Chagas, Ananindeua 67033-009, PA, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aline de Marco","family":"Viott","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Campus Palotina, Universidade Federal do Paran\u00e1, Palotina 85959-000, PR, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6017-7647","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sheyla Farhayldes Souza","family":"Domingues","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Medicina Veterin\u00e1ria, Universidade Federal do Par\u00e1, Castanhal 68740-970, PA, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7711-6437","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Felipe Masiero","family":"Salvarani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Medicina Veterin\u00e1ria, Universidade Federal do Par\u00e1, Castanhal 68740-970, PA, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"419","DOI":"10.3356\/0892-1016-53.4.419","article-title":"Commentary: Defining raptors and birds of prey","volume":"53","author":"McClure","year":"2019","journal-title":"J.
