| Introduction: Parasitic infections in pet birds are common issues in veterinary medicine. Isospora is an important pathogenic agent in birds, particularly in various species of parrots, causing diarrhea and feather loss. This study investigates the prevalence of Isospora infection in parrots in Golestan Province.* Materials and Methods: In this study, fecal samples were collected from parrots that were brought to veterinary clinics in Golestan Province by their owners between October 2022 and May 2023, as well as from parrots kept in pet shops. The samples were examined using the sucrose otation method. Results: Among the 51 samples examined, 6 birds showed clinical signs of lethargy, 12 exhibited feather loss, and 9 had watery diarrhea. The results of both the otation and direct microscopic examinations indicated that none of the birds were infected with Isospora. Conclusion: The ndings suggest a low prevalence of Isospora in parrots of Golestan Province. Based on the negative test results, it can be concluded that Isospora is not widely prevalent in this region, and the clinical symptoms observed in parrots are likely due to other parasitic, bacterial, or viral infections. | ||
