On the epidemiology of helminth parasites in Hangul Deer Cervus hanglu hanglu (Mammalia: Artiodactyla: Cervidae) of Dachigam National Park, India

Abstract: A one-year study conducted to ascertain the prevalence and risk factors associated with helminth infection in Hangul Deer Cervus hanglu hanglu at Dachigam National Park revealed that 40.45% (89 of 220 samples) were infected with four helminth species including Heamonchus contortus, Trichuris ovis, Dictyocaulus viviparus, and Moneizia expansa.  The study signified that the infection was more prevalent during the dry season (summer and autumn) as compared to the wet season (winter and spring).  The overall preva… Show more

“…The changing environmental conditions and utilization of natural habitats for live-stock grazing increases the risk of cross-transmission of parasites (Gottdenker et al 2014). These parasites are reported by different workers in the captive wild animals from different areas (Fagiolini et Khurshid et al 2021). The prevalence of nematodes was more than cestodes and trematodes.The high prevalence of nematodes is because most of the nematodes reported in the study have direct life cycle and do not involve intermediate hosts for transmission which may account for their high transmission rate and prevalence (Soulsby, 1982).…”

“…The literature on parasitic infestation of domestic ungulates is available from Kashmir (Bhat et al 2019). The data pertaining to such aspect of wild ungulates is lacking from this region except some preliminary reports on hangul deer (Lone et al 2016;Khurshid et al 2021). Almost all the parasitic species reported in the two wild ungulate species are present in the domestic livestock which remain in the sanctuary from June to October (Bhat et al 2019).…”

“…The reason being that the langur is preyed upon consistently by leopards across all habitats and seasons owing to their abundance in the park (Shah et al 2009). The Hangul Deer represented a small percentage in the diet of Red Fox indicating that the deer is infrequent in distribution (Khurshid et al 2021). The low occurrence of Hangul in the diet of Red Fox may be due to scavenging.…”
