AI Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed the parasite fauna in chickens in Van Province during 2002 and 2003, focusing on both endoparasites and ectoparasites.
- The methodologies employed included routine parasitological examinations with direct, flotation, and sedimentation techniques, revealing high prevalence rates (85% for endoparasites and 76% for ectoparasites).
- Key findings indicated specific endoparasite ratios, with coccidial oocysts being the most common (65%), while ectoparasites were notably represented by Eomenacanthus stramineus (42%).
Article Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the parasite fauna of the chicken in Van Province in 2002 and 2003. The material of the present study included endoparasites and ectoparasites determined by rutine parasitological examinations. Direct, flotation and sedimentation techniques for endoparasites were used. The total of endoparasites and ectoparasites were determined as 85% and 76% respectively. The ratios of endoparasites obtained from the chicken were coccidial oocystis 65%, Echinostoma spp. 2%, Davania proglottina 8%, Raillietina spp. 10%, Trichostrongylus tenuis 4%, Dispharynx nasuta 1%, Ascaridia galli 13%, Heterakis gallinarum 15%, Capillaria spp. 30% whereas ratios of ectoparasites were Goniocotes hologaster 32%, Lipeurus heteragraphus 6%, Eomenacanthus stramineus 42%, Menacanthus cornutus 11%, Menopon gallinae 22%.
