The occurrence of intestinal parasites of Columba livia domestica has been on the increase, leading to high economic and production losses with more fatal cases. This study was designed to investigate the prevalence of cestodes in pigeons and determine the efficacy of Typha angustata extract and sulphadimidine against these cestodes in the domestic pigeon. A total of 30 pigeons were examined. 18 (60%) pigeons were found infected with only one type of cestode species (Raillietina spp.). The difference in prevalence between males and females was statistically significant (χ 2 = 8.167, p = 0.004). The mean EPG count in group A (treated with T. angustata extract) before treatment and after treatment was 176 ± 4.33 and 155 ± 4.24, respectively. In group B (treated with sulphadimidine), the mean EPG calculated before treatment and after treatment was 184 ± 6.74 and 35 ± 3.53, respectively. The efficacy at day 28 of T. angustata and Sulphadimidine was 11.93% and 80.97%, respectively. It was concluded on the basis of the EPG and efficacy data that T. angustata extract had low efficacy against raillietiniasis, while as sulphadimidine, which is also used before to treat different intestinal parasites, had a good efficacy against raillietiniasis. Further studies are required to know the prevalence of other gastrointestinal parasites in pigeons and efficacy of different medicinal plants against such parasites.

“…Many studies have been conducted on the prevalence of parasitic infections in Pigeons worldwide ( Diakou et al, 2013 , Mehmood et al, 2019 , El-Dakhly et al, 2019 ). In the current study, 60% of pigeons were found infected with only one type of cestode species: Raillietina spp.…”

“…A higher mixed infestation rate was reported in Thailand (92.4%) and Ethiopia (87.7%) (Butboonchoo and Wongsawad, 2017;Berhe et al, 2019). However, the lower mixed infestation rates were recorded in the Mexican Tropics (42%) (Cervantes-Rivera et al, 2016), India (12.8%) (Sreedevi et al, 2016) and Egypt (7.05%) (El-Dakhly et al, 2018). The variation of mixed infestation rate might be due to regional variability.…”

This study was conducted to investigate the occurrence of gastrointestinal parasites in village chickens from four Townships (Mawlamyine, Nyaung U, Zay Yar Thi Ri and Katha) of Myanmar from April to June 2019. A total of 200 faecal samples were randomly collected from village chickens. Centrifugal sugar floatation and sedimentation methods were carried out to detect the gastrointestinal parasites. The overall occurrence of gastrointestinal parasites in village chickens was 60.5% (121/200). Six species of gastrointestinal parasites were observed as Capillaria spp. (30.0%, 60/200), Ascaridia galli (24%, 48/200), Eimeria spp. (20.5%, 41/200), Raillietina spp. (17%, 34/200), Strongyloides spp. (2.5%, 5/200) and Subulura brumpti (2.0%, 4/200).Mixed infection rate was 54.5% while single infection rate was observed as 45.5%. The highest occurrence of gastrointestinal parasites (66.0%) was observed in Nyaung U Township followed by Zay Yar Thi Ri (60.3%), Katha (60.0%) and Mawlamyine (53.5%). As infection rate was relatively high, gastrointestinal parasites prevention and biosecurity measure should be improved.

“…Among the cestodes, the most common species were R. tetragona (16.0%), followed by R. echinobothrida (11.0%), Cotugnia digonopora (6.4%) and R. cesticillus (1.3%). Meanwhile the highest rates of infection were found in summer and the lowest were recorded in winter (El-Dakhly et al, 2019).…”

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.
