“…This is similar to the research of Karma et al (2015) found 252 D. melopsitacci with 100% prevalence in all body regions. This high infestation of mites is due to a decrease in chicken immunity due to stress, lack of nutrition, and a bad environment (Kocon and Chmura, 2017).…”

The purpose of the research were to identify the species, prevalence, and predilection of ectoparasite in Culling Layer Hen at Wonokromo Market, Surabaya City. The research was conducted from March to May 2021 with total of 100 sample of chickens were examined by the skin and feather body region. Identification of ectoparasite was carried out at The Laboratory Parasitology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Universitas Airlangga using permanent mounting methods. The results showed, the species of ectoparasite that infest the culling layer hen were Menopon gallinae 21%, Lipeurus caponis 10%, Ornythonissus bursa 10%, and Dubininia melopsitacci 70%. Predilection of ectoparasite shows that M. gallinae were found in the head-neck, back, wings, and legs region. L. caponis was found in the head-neck, wings, and back region. O. bursa was found in the legs and tail region, and D. melopsitacci was found in the entire body of chicken, the head-neck, back, wings, abdomen, legs, and tail.

“…Literature could not be found on clinical infestation of Sideroferus lunula in Budgerigars kept by owners and sellers in Gujarat or India. However; clear evidence of Sideroferus lunula infestation in Budgerigars has been documented by Schmaschke et al (2001), Benardi et al (2013) and Kocon and Nowak-Chmura (2017). Besides Sideroferus lunula, other feather mites such as Dubininia melopsittaci has been documented by Atyeo and Guad (1987), Schmaschke et al (2001) and Kocon and Nowak-Chmura (2017) in Budgerigars.…”

“…in Budgerigars kept by owners and sellers in Gujarat and India could not be accessed during the study period. Besides Heteromenopon spp., active clinical infestation by Neopsittacusgracilis lice has been documented by Kocon and Nowak-Chmura (2017) while clinical infestation by Afrimenoponwaar has been documented by Sychra et al (2007) and Dik et al (2013) in countries other than India.…”

Disease investigations in free-living and captive birds play crucial role in strategic planning for theirconservation by generating database on existing prevalence and spread of diseases. Most of the nativeIndian birds are not allowed to be kept as pets due to the legal protection which has been provided to themunder different legislations. This step has diverted bird-lovers to keep different types of exotic (i.e., non-native)birds as in-house pets. Out of all exotic birds, Budgerigar (Melopsittacus undulatus) is one of the mostcommon pet birds which are kept as in-house companions in urban as well as rural areas of India. Thesebirds have close proximity to humans (keepers, zoo-keepers, sellers, owners and veterinary practitionerswhile handling); however, the details pertaining to existing status of diseases (e.g., infectious, non-infectiousand zoonotic diseases) of Budgerigar population in India are sparse. Therefore, a study was undertaken todetermine prevalence of endoparasites and ectoparasites in Budgerigars kept by owners and sellers atdifferent places in Gujarat (India). Ascaridia spp., Capillariaspp., Strongyle spp., Eimeria spp. and OtherCoccidia were identified as common endoparasites/protozoa while Knemidocoptes spp. (mite), Sideroferuslunula (feather mite) and Heteromenopon spp. (lice) were identified as common ectoparasites in the screenedpopulation of Budgerigars. The prevalence rates varied among birds kept by owners and sellers whichwere correlated with various managemental aspects. The data generated through the study will provideinformation on existing endo- and ectoparasites of Budgerigars which will be beneficial to understandepidemiological aspects. Similar investigations involving wider geographic locations can be encouraged togenerate strategies for disease prevention and treatment.
