The current conservation initiative for an endangered pheasant, Satyr tragopan, has been ongoing since the early 1980’s in Annapurna Conservation Area in Nepal (del Hoyo et al., 1994); and the avian species is continuing to be kept in several zoos. In the present report, three species of the genus Heterakis Dujardin, 1845 (Nematoda: Heterakidae) are reported from the avian species in captivity in a Japanese zoological garden. A Satyr tragopan that was hatched in January 1999 died suddenly in August 2009 in captivity at Kawasaki Yumemigasaki Zoological Park, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. Its carcass was taken to the Wild Animal Medical Center (WAMC) of Rakuno Gakuen University, Japan, and both post-mortem and helminthological examinations were performed. All visceral organs were examined under a dissecting microscope. Nematodes obtained were fixed in 70% ethanol and cleared in lacto-phenol solution for microscopic observation. Morphological drawings and measurements were recorded with a camera lucida. All nematode specimens were preserved in the WAMC. A total of 424 individual nematodes belonging to different species of the Genus Heterakis were obtained from the bird’s alimentary tract (Table 1). Among the male nematode individuals, according to the male morphological criteria described by Skrjabin et al. (1961), two species were identified as Heterakis gallinarum (Schrank, 1788) Madsen, 1950 and H. bosia (Lane, 1914). However, no positive, specific name could be given for the females. Furthermore, several males appeared to belong to a different, yet unnamed, morphological taxon Heterakis sp. The site and prevalence of the nematode individuals are shown in Table 1.
