In the Punjab it is very rarely seen in the domesticated state. It is also possible that this ciliate is not a common inhabitant of the intestine of the Indian pig, as it could not be found in the faeces of three pigs examined from near Kasauli, Punjab. I have also been unable to find it in the stools of six monkeys. Bentham (1920) recorded its presence in large numbers in association with Enta...

The present study was performed to investigate the infection status of intestinal parasites in pigs and beef cattle in rural areas of Chungcheongnam-do, Korea. From November 2009 to April 2010, a total of 241 fecal samples of pigs and beef cattle (136 and 105, respectively) were examined by direct smear and centrifugal sedimentation methods. The overall positive rates of intestinal parasites am...

Parasites and infectious diseases are well-known threats to primate populations. The main objective of this study was to provide baseline data on fecal parasites in the cercopithecid monkeys inhabiting Côte d'Ivoire's Taï National Park. Seven of eight cercopithecid species present in the park were sampled: Cercopithecus diana, Cercopithecus campbelli, Cercopithecus petaurista, Procolobus badius...

there is documented evidence that infection in laboratory animals can often influence the outcome of experiments. all infections, apparent or inapparent, are likely to increase biological variability. as a research project concerning the diversity and distribution of parasites of rabbit and guinea pig in a conventional laboratory animal house, about 87 rabbits (from 700 ) and 105 guinea pigs (f...

Fecal samples from 55 free-ranging olive baboons (Papio anubis) in Mole National Park, Ghana, were collected 22 June-7 July 2008 and analyzed for gastrointestinal parasites. This is the first survey of baboon gastrointestinal parasites in Ghana and provides baseline data for this area. Ninety-three percent of samples were infected, leaving 7% with no parasites observed. Of those infected, there...

We undertook a study of the mechanical transmission of parasitic organisms in cockroaches in the Samutprakarn province of Thailand. In this study, 920 cockroaches were obtained from 18 open-air shopping markets in 5 districts and 1 subdistrict of this province. All cockroaches were captured during their feeding time in their natural habitat. Direct wet smear and modified acid-fast bacilli stain...

Liquid wastes are known to be highly contaminated and pose great public health risk, especially when indiscriminately discharged the environment. The parasitological bacteriological survey of liquid from Naze industrial clusters in Owerri metropolis was carried out. Sewage wastewater laundry were used as study samples. 100mls each samples collected drainage sites with sterile screw-capped speci...
