Studies on Gastrointestinal Helminth Parasites in Domestic Fowl Gallus Domesticus L

Abstract

Present study incorporates the deals Taxonomy, Population Dynamics, Histopathology and Biochemical Profiles of Helminths domestic fowl Gallus domesticus from different collection sites of Nanded Region, M.S.India., with a view to identifying the species recovered by morphological criteria based on light microscopy. The Helminths occurring in domestic fowl Gallus domesticus, are studied. The Helminth parasites spectrum recovered from domestic fowl Gallus domesticus in the study area comprise of Four Cestodes, One Digenetic Trematodes and One Nematodes. newlineThesis Comprises of newlineSECTION I- TAXONOMY OF HELMINTH PARASITES OF GALLUS DOMESTICUS L. newlineSECTION II- POPULATION DYNAMICS OF HELMINTHS OF GALLUS DOMESTICUS L. newlineSECTION III- HISTOPATHOLOGY newlineSECTION IV- BIOCHEMICAL STUDY newlineSECTION V- BIBLIOGRAPHY. newlineSECTION I- TAXONOMY OF HELMINTH PARASITES OF GALLUS DOMESTICUS L. newlineThis section deals with Morphology and Taxonomic study of Four cestode parasites; One Trematode and One Nematode Parasites of Gallus domesticus L. newlineThe genera reported in the present studies are as follows: newline1} Cotugnia Diamare, 1893 (Two new species). newlineCotugnia multicapsulata Sp.Nov. newlineAbstract newline2 newlineCotugnia rostrata Sp.Nov. newline2} Davainea Blanchard, et.al., Railliet 1891 (One new species). newlineDavainea domestica Sp.Nov. newline3} Raillietina Fuhrmann, 1908 (One new species). newlineRaillietina (R.) indica Sp.
