Ascaridia galli isolates with ITS1-5.8rRNA-ITS2 fragment homologous to Ascaridia columbae

Prevalence of Ascaridia galli, Heterakis gallinarum and Tapeworm in

A survey was conducted to determine the prevalence of gastrointestinal helminthes in local chickens, broilers and layers slaughtered in Makurdi metropolis between September 2007 and April 2008. A total of 440 samples were collected from male and female chickens. Of the total samples examined, 200(45.5%) were from domestic chicken, 140(31.8%) from broilers and 100(22.7%) from layers. Of the tota...

The effect of concurrent infections with Pasteurella multocida and Ascaridia galli on free range chickens.

Pasteurella multocida and Ascaridia galli are observed with high prevalences in free range chickens in Denmark, but the impact is unknown. A study was carried out to examine the interaction between A. galli and P. multocida in chickens and the impact on production. Five groups, each with 20 18-week-old Lohmann Brown chickens were infected. Group 1 was orally infected with 1000+/-50 embryonated ...

Importance of the egg shell of Ascaridia galli to the infectivity of its larva.

Changes in the Biochemical Parameters of Experimental Chicks Due to Ascaridia galli Infection

The W.L.H. chicks carrying A. galli infectioin showed ascridiasis and anemia. The biochemical responses such as glucose, protein, cholesterol, urea, acid phosphates and alkaline phosphatase level after 16 days and 32 days at low dose and high dose of infection were studied. The infection showed a significant increase in serum cholesterol and serum urea levels in all the experimental cases. The ...

Comparative genetic resistance to Ascaridia galli infections of 4 different commercial layer-lines.

1. The objective of the study was to compare the establishment and effect of Asaridia galli infections in 4 different layer-lines. 2. A total of 160 birds comprising 4 different commercial layer-lines, ISA Brown, New Hampshire, Skalborg and a cross of New Hampshire(NH) and Skalborg (Sk), were infected with A. galli eggs. The birds were examined for the presence of parasite eggs and parasites at...
