Research note: Mite infestations in non-descriptive indigenous chickens in Bangladesh: Present status and pathology.

Non-descriptive, indigenous chickens (NDICs) in Bangladesh are commonly reared in scavenging system. Here, we describe the prevalence and pathological impacts induced by mite infestations in NDICs. We found that 47.

Research Note: Genetic analysis, pathology, and vectors of echinostomiasis, a zoonotic helminth infection in chickens in Bangladesh.

Echinostomes (Trematoda: Echinostomatidae) are food-borne zoonotic flatworms that affect birds, animals and humans, and has been classified as neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) by the World Health Organization (WHO), which cause severe enteritis in poultry and hamper production. Here, we confirmed the species of echinostomes affecting chickens in Bangladesh along with their genetic analyses, pathology and vectors. We isolated and identified adult worms from chickens, cercariae from fresh water snails and metacerariae (MC) from some wild fishes.
