“…The difference in prevalence between male and female was statistically significant ( χ 2 = 8.167, p = 0.004). The results are similar to the observations of Mohammed et al, 2019 , Umaru et al, 2017 . In contrast, Khan et al (2018) reported non-significant difference in the prevalence rates in males and females'.…”

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.

“…Hence, the overall prevalence of ectoparasites at the gallery forests along River Benue at Makurdi is high compared to that found on wild birds in Czech Republic, Philippines, Turkey and other parts of Nigeria [22][23][24][25]. Ectoparasites species distributed in 25 genera were recovered from this study, thisishigh compared to other studies carried out in Nigeria [26,27], however it is worthy to note that not much work has been carried out on ectoparasites of wild birds in Nigeria, and studiesconducted so far tend to focus on specific species and on helminth parasites [28].…”

A survey of ectoparasite species infesting wild birds at two gallery forests in Makurdi was investigated to provide baseline information on the types of ectoparasites infesting wild birds. Birds were trapped from September 2015 to August 2016; a combination of visual examination and dust ruffling technique was used to remove ectoparasites from live birds. Specimens were preserved in labeled vials containing 70% alcohol. The parasites were identified using standard taxonomic keys when viewed under a light microscope. A total of 254 birds were captured out of which, 174 (68.5%) were infested with 1,294 ectoparasites (1,208 lice, 25ticks, 50 mites and 11 flies). The birds had high single infestation 107(42.1%). Ectoparasitic infestation varied significantly between months (F (11, 253) =2.620, P<0.05) and between bird species (F (58, 253) =2.353, P<0.05), with the months of May and June showing higher infestations and at the Mu gallery Forest. The study concludes that there is high prevalence of ectoparasites on wild birds at gallery forests hence making the forests possible reservoir for ectoparasites for domestic birds. The study recommends further studies to determine the effects of parasites on the health of wild birds and possible transmission of parasites from wild to domestic birds.

The pathogen E. coli with an interpersonal disease is a serious cause of diarrheal, often with a high degree of morbidity, which is reported in developing countries [6]. Among the diarrheagenicpatho types of E. coli, and Enteropathogenic E. coli are more frequent and frequently occurring in waterborne occurrences worldwide [7].…”

Escherichia coli are regarded as the most important causes of intestinal illnesses in the world and also a significant public health challenge. Intestinal sicknesses which are caused by E. coli infection are often under diagnosed while doing usual microbiological analysis, particularly in resource constrained settings. However, the use of molecular tests could be helpful to identify the distribution of intestinal illnesses of E. coli infection and also its clinical importance. The distribution analysis of virulence factors which exist among various E. coli pathotypes which include Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) will offer substantial insights with regard to the mechanisms through which various E. coli strains lead to diseases and result in the growth of different E. coli types. This present investigation therefore is an attempt to evaluate the incidence of intestinal illnesses of E. coli in clinical samples taken from patients. The samples from 150 patients and 15 controls were collected and then screened for E. coli. Compatible colonies taken from 150 individuals (150 patients and 15 controls) were characterized through performing biochemical test, a set of Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) for recognition of six virulence factors. The clinical samples from patients were within two months -two year attending. Pyelonephritis were associated by pili (pap gene, hemolysin (hly gene), aerobactin (aer gene), translocon pore-forming subunit espB and Shiga toxins (Stx1 and Stx2) respectively. They were related with six intestinal illnesses pathotypes. The incidence of hlyA and papC (both 40%) was highest, and was followed by espB, aer, stx1, stx2(30%,25%,20% and 18%) respectively. Although, how and whether these mixtures of genes affect their pathogenicity is an issue that have to be investigated and elucidated. The findings obtained in this study highlight the significance of epidemiological and microbiological surveillance of STECs. It also determines if the development of control measures will diminish the risks which are associated with intestinal illnesses from E.coli.
