Discovery of potentially novel species of the Onchocercidae (Nematoda: Filarioidea) in Burmese fighting chickens (Gallus gallus): Genetic insights into avian filariasis and co-infection with Plasmodium juxtanucleare

Burmese fighting chickens (Gallus gallus) raised in Nakhon Ratchasima Province, eastern Thailand, were investigated for filarioids and co-infection with other haemoparasites.
