A desi chicken fl ock (3 months old) had 2% mortality every week with a history of stunted growth. Birds were supplemented with antibiotics from the fi rst week of hatch. Postmortem examination was carried out on a carcass. Carcass was pale and thin. Crop mucosa was covered with thin, whitish papery layer with scaĴ ered erosions. The mucosa also revealed an irregular corrugated fi rm growth protruding into the lumen. Cytology revealed narrow budding yeasts and numerous fl agellated protozoa. Histologically, crop revealed epithelial hyperplasia with papillary projections. Hyperplastic epithelial layer showed ballooning degeneration of cells and infl ammatory infi ltrations. Histochemistry showed Candida albicans with PAS stain and Trichomonas gallinae with Giemsa stain. C. albicans exhibited yeast and hyphal forms which occupied superfi cial epithelial cells whereas septate hyphae were found penetrating perpendicular to the mucosa. Giemsa stained tissue section showed varying morphology of Trichomonas gallinae in the lamina propria. This study reporting the chronic and combined infection of dimorphic fungi -Candida albicans and protozoal fl agellate Trichomonas gallinae in a desi chicken due to continuous usage of antibiotics.

“…The fl agellated Trichomonas were observed as free motile form and occupied the lumen of UDT. They were characterized by the presence of a single karyomastigont, fi ve to six fl agella and an undulating membrane 3,15 . The trophozoite form observed in the crop tissue showed morphological variation as ovoidal to pyriform with size ranged from 7-11µm.…”

“…Protozoan diseases significantly threaten the health of chickens (Chen et al, 2022;Tuska-Szalay et al, 2022;Saikia et al, 2023). They are widely distributed worldwide among different species of agricultural and wild bird species (Badparva et al, 2020). The prevalence of trichomoniasis epizootics among wild birds of ecoparks (Fadhil et al, 2020) often leads to a significant decrease in their populations and even threatens the disappearance of certain bird species in natural ecosystems (Forzán et al, 2010;Feng et al, 2021).…”

The study of macro-morphological changes is important for recognizing disturbances in egg formation that cause pathologies, especially co-infection. The current study aimed to evaluate the level of egg productivity and macro-morphological parameters of eggs in domestic chickens of the Rhode Island breed with co-infection of Histomonas, Trichomonas, and Eimeria. Clinical and parasitological, coproscopic, morphometric research, and statistical analysis methods were used for this research. Pathogens of Histomonas and Trichomonas were detected by microscopy of smears of fresh feces, and Eimeria oocysts were identified by flotation according to the Fullenborn method. During 30 days of research, there was a significant decrease in egg production (52%), a decrease in egg weight by 16.8%, and a decrease in the shell thickness by 30.43% during spontaneous Eimeria-Histomonosis-Trichomonosis co-infection in laying hens. The eggshell indicated noticeable macro-morphological changes, including deformations and defects resulting from insufficient calcification. These changes manifest as combined damage to the shell, characterized by small cracks, roughness, bumpy or spilled thickenings, and complete or partial depigmentation. When evaluating the internal content of eggs in 12% of their samples, there were bloody spots, relatively smaller and lighter yolks, thinning of the protein part. Thus, the specified macro-morphological changes and egg defects were the result of the negative impact of co-infection on the processes of egg formation, which indicates the systemic nature of the lesion and the morphofunctional insufficiency of the egg-forming organs.
