Gastrointestinal (GI) parasites are one of the most widely recognized health problems of buffalo calves in Bangladesh. The study was undertaken to investigate the prevalence of GI parasitic infestation in buffalo calves at Sylhet division of Bangladesh. Fecal samples of 200 buffalo calves under 1 year of age (76 males and 124 females) were collected from Sylhet, Maulvibazar, Habiganj, and Sunamganj districts, and from each of the four regions, 50 samples were collected. Samples were examined through simple flotation, sedimentation, and McMaster techniques. The overall prevalence of GI parasites in Sylhet division was 65.5%. Among the samples, the highest prevalence of GI parasite was found in Sylhet (78%), followed by Sunamganj (68%), Maulvibazar (66%), and Habiganj (50%) districts. Among the identified GI parasites, the highest prevalence was observed in case of (26.5%). The highest prevalence of GI parasite was observed in summer (69.84%), followed by rainy (69.62%) and winter (55.17%) seasons. Males and females were almost equally susceptible to GI parasitic infestation. Older calves (9-12 months, 77.14%) were most vulnerable to GI parasites. Egg per gram (EPG) of feces was additionally counted in the current study to know the severity of infestation. The range of EPG varied from 50 to 900 among the identified parasites. Among them, the highest count was found in the case of (100-900). It may be concluded that aggregated policies and actions need to be taken to control the GI parasitic infestation in buffalo calves at Sylhet Division and elsewhere in developing countries like Bangladesh.
胃肠道寄生虫是孟加拉国水牛犊牛中最广为人知的健康问题之一。本研究旨在调查孟加拉国锡尔赫特地区水牛犊牛胃肠道寄生虫感染的流行情况。从锡尔赫特、毛尔维巴扎尔、哈比甘杰和苏纳甘杰地区收集了200头1岁以下水牛犊牛（76头雄性和124头雌性）的粪便样本，每个地区收集50份样本。通过简单浮选、沉淀和麦克马斯特技术对样本进行检查。锡尔赫特地区胃肠道寄生虫的总体感染率为65.5%。在样本中，胃肠道寄生虫感染率最高的是锡尔赫特（78%），其次是苏纳甘杰（68%）、毛尔维巴扎尔（66%）和哈比甘杰（50%）地区。在所鉴定的胃肠道寄生虫中，[此处原文缺失寄生虫名称]的感染率最高（26.5%）。胃肠道寄生虫感染率在夏季最高（69.84%），其次是雨季（69.62%）和冬季（55.17%）。雄性和雌性对胃肠道寄生虫感染的易感性几乎相同。年龄较大的犊牛（9 - 12个月，77.14%）最容易感染胃肠道寄生虫。在本研究中还额外计算了每克粪便中的虫卵数（EPG），以了解感染的严重程度。在所鉴定的寄生虫中，EPG范围从50到900不等。其中，[此处原文缺失寄生虫名称]的计数最高（100 - 900）。可以得出结论，需要采取综合政策和行动来控制孟加拉国等发展中国家锡尔赫特地区及其他地方水牛犊牛的胃肠道寄生虫感染。
