| description | <b>Aim:</b> To investigate the epidemiology and pathology of intestinal
helminthiasis of indigenous fowls.<p>
<b>Materials and Methods:</b> 109 fowl's viscera were collected
from local market. Identification of helminths was done according
to age, season and sex.<p>
<b>Results:</b> Over all 79 (72.47%) fowls were infected with one
or more species of helminths. Seven species of helminth including
two trematodes (Catatropis verrucosa, Echinostoma
revolutum), three cestodes (Raillietina tetragona, Raillietina
echinobothrida, Raillietina cesticillus) and two nematodes
(Ascaridia galli, Heterakis gallinarum) species were identified.
Significantly (p<0.01) higher prevalence of helminths
were recorded in adults (78.37%) and males (78.43%) than
in young (60%) and females (67.24%), respectively. Fowls
were 1.85 times more susceptible (p<0.01) to helminth infection
in dry season (79.55%) than wet season (67.97%).
Intestine became thickened and inflamed with presence of
necrotic spots.<p>
<b>Conclusion:</b> Intestinal helminths are the serious threat to
the indigenous fowl production in Bangladesh. |
