“…Inang antara dari R. cesticillus merupakan kumbang (Fischer dan Say 1989). Inang antara alami dari R. cesticillus adalah Opatroides frater atau disebut juga kumbang tanah (Velusamy et al 2014). Cacing R. echinobothrida adalah salah satu cacing pita yang paling patogen karena dapat menyebabkan nodul pada usus halus, enteritis hyperplasia terkait dengan pembentukan granuloma sehingga sering menimbulkan nekrosis usus (McDougald 2003).…”

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi dan mengukur prevalensi kecacingan di usus ayam kampung yang ada di pasar tradisional Jakarta dan Kota Bogor. Usus ayam kampung diambil dari 5 pasar yang ada di Jakarta (Bendungan Hilir, Palmerah, Pasar Minggu, Pluit, dan Jatinegara) dan di 4 pasar yang ada di Kota Bogor (Anyar, Bogor, Jambu Dua, Gunung Batu). Sampel yang diambil sebanyak 5 sampel di setiap pasar dengan total 45 sampel. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan 28 dari 45 sampel usus ayam kampung (Gallus domesticus) yang diperiksa di pasar tradisional Jakarta dan Bogor positif mengalami kecacingan. Hasil prevalensi menunjukkan pasar Jakarta sebesar 56% dan pasar Bogor sebesar 70%. Prevalensi berdasarkan jenis-jenis cacing di Pasar Jakarta adalah; Railletina echinobothrida (52%), Heterakis gallinnarum (32%), Railletina tetragona (24%), Hymenolepis carioca (16%), Ascaridia galli (16%), dan Hymenolepis cantaniana (4%). Prevalensi berdasarkan jenis-jenis cacing yang ditemukan di Pasar Bogor adalah Railletina echinobothrida (70%), Railletina tetragona (55%), Heterakis gallinarum (10%), Hymenolepis carioca (30%), Hymenolepis cantaniana (20%), dan Railletina cesticillus (20%).

“…6, and the chickens became infected by consuming the beetles. Dung beetles are known as the intermediate hosts of R. cesticillus , with Opatroides fater , Tachys laetificus , and others reported as intermediate hosts [ 9 , 11 ]. In this case, D. maculatus DeGeer was also confirmed to be an intermediate host for R. cesticillus .…”

“…DNA was extracted from the tapeworms using a Nucleospin Tissue Kit (Macherey-Nagel, Düren, Germany), and PCR was performed following previously reported protocols [7]. Tapeworms were identified as R. cesticillus by morphological appearance [2,4,5,9,11] and PCR results [7]. The PCR product was subjected to sequencing and analyzed using the BLASTn algorithm, which confirmed a 100% similarity to the sequence in the GenBank database bearing accession number MW291976.1, thereby identifying R. cesticillus.…”

<i>Raillietina cesticillus</i> infection causes reduced egg production in chickens in a windowless poultry house

In a windowless poultry house raising layer chickens in Kanagawa prefecture, Japan, a slight increase in the mortality of chickens and a decrease in egg production were observed. Necropsy revealed numerous tapeworms and proglottids in chicken intestines. Histopathologically, gut-associated lymphoid tissues were observed in the lamina propria of the jejunum; however, no significant changes were observed in the other organs. Numerous hide beetles, Dermestes maculatus DeGeer, intermediate hosts of Raillietina cesticillus , were observed in the poultry house. Following a decline in beetle numbers, egg production increased and chicken mortality decreased. The life cycle of a tapeworm was easily established in a closed space, such as a windowless house, which led to severe infections.

Today one of the important problems in poultry farming and bird keeping both in homesteads and on farms is the spread of endoparasites, which cause a significant decrease in productivity and significant economic damage. Raillietinosis and daveniosis are natural focal tape helminthiases that parasitize in the small intestine of poultry. The research on chicken cestodiasis was carried out on poultry farms in the south of Odessa Region of Ukraine during 2017 and 2019. 4219 chickens of different age groups were examined, which used walking areas, with 1965 chickens – in 2017 and 2254 – in 2019. To assess the wet and dry periods with daily average temperatures above 10 °C, that is the period of active vegetation, the Selyaninov hydrothermal coefficient (SHC) was used (1937), according to which the spread of chicken cestodiasis was determined. In the south of Odessa Region, the moderate and severe period increased from four to seven months, at which the hydrothermal coefficient amounted to 0.4–0.8. The period of sufficient moisture at a hydrothermal coefficient of 1.0–1.5 decreased from three months of 2017 to two months of 2019 and the hydrothermal coefficient was not calculated for five and three months, respectively. In 2017, the hatching of cestode eggs with bird manure was recorded for nine months: from March (10.1%) to November (5.8%) with high rates in June (27.2%) and September (37.1%), while in 2019, cestode eggs were recorded in February (12.7%) and up to December (2.4%), that is, for 11 months, with the highest rates in May (41.8%) and September (43.9%). The species composition of chicken cestodes is represented by four species: Raillietina echinobothrida (74.2%), which dominates due to a longer low hydrothermal coefficient, as well as R. tetragona (9.8%), R. cesticillus (10.8%) and Davainea proglottina (5.2%). The invasion of ants with cysticercoid R. echinobothrida in 2017 amounted to 19.6%, and in 2019 – 25.9% with an intensity of 1 to 4 specimens.
