Background: Parasites are a major concern for profitable poultry production worldwide as they impede the health, welfare and production performance of poultry.
Objectives: The present study was designed to detect the diversity of parasitic fauna and associated factors of gastrointestinal (GI) helminths and lice in indigenous chickens.
Methods: A total of 310 indigenous chickens were collected from different villages at Gauripur and Mymensingh Sadar, Mymensingh, and Bangladesh, and various parasites were identified.

Most poultry farming that has been conducted by smallholders in Thailand are free-range and housing systems, which have risks of parasitic infection from the environment, particularly from tapeworms in the genus Raillietina and trematodes in the family Echinostomatidae. These have become important health problems in the poultry industry, causing low feed conversion ratios and leading to the loss of economic value. Our objective was to develop and validate a molecular technique based on duplex loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) together with lateral flow dipstick (LFD) assay for discriminating the infections between the genus Raillietina (R.

The control of zoonotic and vector-borne pathogens is challenging due to the limited availability of intervention tools. West Nile virus (WNV) is an example of a globally distributed zoonotic arbovirus that circulates between Culex species (Diptera: Culicidae) mosquitoes and avian hosts, with spillover transmission to humans, resulting in disease cases. Interventions delivering systemic insecticides to vertebrate hosts used by vector species, known as xenointoxication, are potential tools for managing vector populations by creating toxic bloodmeals.

Article Synopsis
- The lack of adequate drug options for treating parasites in aquatic animals has led researchers to explore the repurposing of existing livestock drugs, particularly albendazole (ABZ), which has shown effectiveness in various species.* -
- Toxicological studies revealed that ABZ depletes quickly from muscle tissues of several fish but may cause toxicity at high doses, similar to effects seen in humans and other animals.* -
- Efficacy trials demonstrated that ABZ can effectively treat parasites in species like eels and shrimp, making it a potentially valuable alternative for fish farmers facing high demands for new veterinary drugs in aquaculture.*
