“…This is in accordance with the Katoch et al 2012;Saad et al (1989) and Puttalakshmamma et al (2008), who reported 72.0, 77.3 and 71 % helminthic infections in local chickens, respectively. The higher prevalence of helminthic infections in local chickens was reported from other countries includes Morocco, 89.9 % (Hassouni and Belghyti 2006);Nigeria, 87.7 % (Yorio et al 2008) and Iran, 96 % (Eslami et al 2009).…”

“…3). Similar observation was made by Puttalakshmamma et al (2008) in desi birds of Bangalore region but Katoch et al (2012) reported higher prevalence of R. cesticellus followed by R. echinobothrida and R. tetragona (Fig. 4) in backyard chickens of Jammu.…”

“…Among nematode parasites, the highest prevalence of A. galli was observed followed by H. gallinarum. This is in comparison with observations of Katoch et al (2012); Puttalakshmamma et al (2008);Baboolal et al (2012).…”

“…Similarly Nadakal et al (1973) and Puttalakshmamma et al (2008) reported the highest prevalence of cestodes followed by nematodes and trematodes in desi birds. In contrast to the present study, Katoch et al (2012) and Baboolal et al (2012) observed the higher prevalence of nematodes followed by cestode parasites in backyard chickens of Jammu and broiler chickens of Trinidad region respectively.…”

The present study was conducted for 1 year from March 2010 to February 2011 to identify gastrointestinal parasites of backyard chickens and to estimate its prevalence in and around Shimoga, a malnad region of Karnataka. A total of 250 gastro-intestinal tracts were collected from backyard chickens for the detection of gastrointestinal parasites. Among the 250 birds screened, 183 (73.2 %) were found positive for gastrointestinal parasites by gross examination of gastrointestinal tract. Out of 183 positive cases, 94 (51.36 %) were found positive for cestodes, includes 73 (77.6 %) Raillietina tetragona, 12 (12.8 %) Raillietina echinobothrida and 9 (9.6 %) Raillietina cesticillus. Whereas, 53 (28.96 %) were found harbouring nematode parasites includes 33 (62.3 %) had Ascaridia galli, 12 (22.6 %) had Heterakis gallinarum and 8 (15.1 %) had both A. galli and H. gallinarum infection. The remaining 36 (19.67 %) had mixed infections of both cestode and nematode parasites. The microscopic examination of the gut contents and faecal samples showed presence of coccidian oocysts and eggs of A. galli, H. gallinarum and Capillaria spp. respectively.

“…In Bangladesh (Rabbi et al 2006) reported (44-89 %) the prevalence of A. galli in commercial layer and backyard chickens in Bangladesh. In Bangalore, India (Puttalakshmamma et al 2008) found (91.4 %) prevalence A. galli in chickens. Higher prevalence (88 %) of A. galli was also reported in free range system in Germany (Kaufmann et al 2011) and in Ethiopia (71.6 %) (Abede et al 1997).…”

Rural poultry production in Bangladesh is mainly based on the free range or backyard poultry production system. This backyard poultry plays a vital tool for poverty alleviation as well as for empowerment of poor women of this country. However, this production system has disadvantage of susceptibility to many diseases including higher burden of parasitic infection. Therefore this cross sectional epidemiological investigation was done to determine the prevalence and distribution of gastrointestinal helminths in Narsingdi district, Bangladesh. To conduct this study a total of 150 chickens from three different villages of Narsingdi district, Bangladesh (50 chickens per village) were collected by random sampling method and killed by cervical disarticulation. Thereafter, all the chickens were necropsied and gastrointestinal tracts were examined macroscopically for the presence helminth infection. In total two nematode (Ascaridia galli, Heterakis gallinarum,) and one cestode (Raillietina spp.) were identified by post mortem examination. Raillietina spp. was detected as the most prevalent helminth species (86-92 %) followed by A. galli (70-86 %), and H. gallinarum (70-76 %) in studied villages. In some chickens petechial hemorrhage were observed in the small intestinal wall which was associated with the A. galli infection and for some birds white tiny nodules were detected in case of H. gallinarum infection. No significant difference in parasite prevalence was observed between male and female bird as well as among three studied villages (P [ 0.05). We observed that most of chickens were infected with more than one species of parasites. This finding suggests that the poultry production system in rural areas of Bangladesh and the environmental conditions are very favourable for the transmission and persistence of the parasite species in rural areas of Bangladesh.

Tegument antigens of tapeworm play an important role in modulation of host response and parasite survival. Characterizing appropriate antigens for parasite infection diagnosis and vaccination is rational and could have both economic and epidemiological significance in poultry industry. In the present study, a major protoscolex homologue (named RT10) of Echinococcus and Taenia spp. was amplified from Raillietina tetragona cestode. The RT10 cDNA was 1,877 bp long containing an open reading frame of 1,683 bp nucleotides, which encoded a deduced protein of 560 amino acids with an isoelectric point of 6.33. Secondary structure analysis demonstrated that RT10 was both hydrophilic and antigenic, and possessed N-terminal FERM domain and C-terminal ERM domain, respectively. With the same structural properties of previously reported antigens from Echinococcus and Taenia spp., RT10 tegument antigen had a more than 82% similarity in nucleotide level with initially reported antigens from Echinococcus and Taenia spp., and a more than 83% similarity in protein level, with the highest similarity of 85.2% to Taenia antigen H17g. In addition, phylogenetic analysis illustrated a high consistency between different genus antigens and evolutionary branching. Although the detailed function of RT10 is still unknown, the high sequence conservation and structural similarity to formerly identified tegument antigens from Echinococcus and Taenia spp. suggested that RT10 may play a similar role as the previous reported antigens between cestode and host. It is significant to clarify the antigenic and serodiagnostic characteristics in the subsequent work.
