Considering the dynamic development of domestic pigeons breeding in Poland, working out preventive programs for this species of birds becomes necessary. Preventive programs should be elaborated based on epizootic situation in a particular area and should be adapted to it. The aim of the present study was to evaluate of the occurrence of parasitic invasions in domestic pigeons in the Northern Poland. In years 2005/2006, 55 lofts of carrier pigeons and 11 lofts of fancy pigeons were examined. One hundred and three individual dropping samples collected during pigeon exhibitions were also investigated. The study revealed that 56.4% of carrier pigeons lofts and 90.9% of fancy pigeons lofts were infected by coccidia. Ascaridia (A.) columbae was found in 5.5% lofts of carrier and 15.5% of fancy pigeons on the exhibitions. Eggs of Capillaria (C.) obsignata were found in 3.6% carrier pigeons and in 36.4% fancy pigeons lofts. Trichomonas columbae were observed in 61.8% of carrier pigeons and in 100% of fancy pigeons lofts.
考虑到波兰国内鸽子养殖的动态发展，制定针对这种鸟类的预防计划变得必要。预防计划应根据特定地区的动物流行病情况制定，并应与之相适应。本研究的目的是评估波兰北部家鸽体内寄生虫感染的情况。在2005/2006年期间，对55个信鸽鸽舍和11个观赏鸽鸽舍进行了检查。还对在鸽子展览期间收集的103份个体粪便样本进行了调查。研究发现，56.4%的信鸽鸽舍和90.9%的观赏鸽鸽舍感染了球虫。在展览中，5.5%的信鸽鸽舍和15.5%的观赏鸽鸽舍发现了鸽蛔虫。在3.6%的信鸽和36.4%的观赏鸽鸽舍中发现了封闭毛细线虫卵。在61.8%的信鸽和100%的观赏鸽鸽舍中观察到了鸽毛滴虫。
