HISTOPATHOLOGICAL CHANGES IN THE GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT OF LOCAL CHICKENS INFECTED WITH PARASITE Choanotaenia infundibulum

Abstract

The Aim: This work to study Histopathological Changes in the Gastrointestinal Tract of Local Chickens Infected with Parasite Choanotaenia infundibulum.
 Place and Duration of Study: Raillietina cesticillus samples were obtained from the veterinary hospital with the help of specialized doctors.
 Study Design: A total of ten domestic hens infected with Choanotaenia infundibulum were investigated between March and July 2021 at the veterinary facility in Najaf Province, Iraq
 Methodology: Pathologically, there was a visible enlargement of the bowel, whereas histologically, alterations were more subtle. Unmistakable signs include inflammation of the epithelial layer and an abundance of cellular infiltration. Chronic inflammation and cell fragmentation in the epithelium
 Results: Macular degeneration as a result of the presence of this causes the villi to become disintegrated, removing any trace of the epithelial cells that line the digestive tract's villi and glands.
 Conclusion: It is noted that there is a smashing of the tops of the villi, sloughing, smashing, and inflammation in the epithelial layer of a wall accompanied by a large infiltration of inflammatory cells, especially eosinophils

Hipertrofi sel goblet pada usus halus ayam kampung di pasar tradisional Jakarta yang terinfeksi cacing cestoda

“…Infeksi R. cesticillus pada usus halus ayam menyebabkan atrofi vili parsial, infiltrasi sel radang yang terdiri atas sel limfosit, eosinofil, heterofil, dan makrofag (Salam et al 2010). Mushattat et al (2022) menyatakan bahwa infeksi berat cestoda dapat menimbulkan perubahan patologis, seperti degenerasi sel epitel dan enteritis yang dicirikan oleh infiltrasi makrofag dan limfosit. Perlekatan skoleks cestoda pada mukosa usus halus dapat menyebabkan kerusakan sel goblet dalam bentuk hipertrofi sel epitel yang bisa mengganggu integritas mukosa usus (Hambal et al, 2019).…”
