An investigation into the helminth parasitic infections of domestic fowl in a subtropical area of India, based on an autopsy of 532 chickens, revealed a 90.9% prevalence of infection. 10 species of helminths were encountered, of which Capillaria contorta was recorded for the first time from fowls in India. Ascaridia galli was the most prevalent species, followed by Raillietina spp. and Heterakis gallinae. The infection by trematodes appeared to be very rare. The helminth fauna of fowls in this climatic area was compared with that of fowls in other areas of the world and found to differ in respect of prevalence and incidence of various parasitic species. The role of the climate in the distribution and in regulating populations of parasitic species is discussed.
基于对532只鸡的解剖,对印度亚热带地区家禽的蠕虫寄生虫感染情况进行的一项调查显示,感染率为90.9%。共发现10种蠕虫,其中扭曲毛细线虫是首次在印度家禽中记录到。鸡蛔虫是最常见的物种,其次是瑞利绦虫属和鸡异刺线虫。吸虫感染似乎非常罕见。将该气候区家禽的蠕虫区系与世界其他地区家禽的蠕虫区系进行了比较,发现各种寄生虫物种的流行率和发病率有所不同。文中讨论了气候在寄生虫物种分布和种群调节中的作用。
