Abstract

This study aimed with the spotting and evaluation of the current status of gastrointestinal tract (GIT) helminths of domesticated and non-domesticated birds of district Karak different localities. For this purpose we captured/collected 120 birds of 10 selected species. Overall helminths prevalence was recorded 68% (82/120), highest in wild crows 83% (10/12) followed by wild quails 75% (09/12) while lowest recorded in night-angle 50% (06/12). The identified species of parasites belonging to nematodes were, namely, Heterakis gallinae 64% (53/82), Strongyloides avium 57% (47/82), Gongylonema ingluvicola 51% (42/82), Ascaridia galli 47% (39/82), Trichius trichiura (whipworm) 86% (71/82), Enterobius vermicularis (pinworm) 89% (73/82), the cestodes were, namely, Raillietina echinobothrida 59% (49/82), Raillietina cesticillus 57% (47/82) , Raillietina tetragona 46% (38/82), Hymenolepis carioca 39% (32/82) and the trematodes were, namely, Ascocotyle 51% (42/82), Cercarioides 62% (51/82) Echinostoma trivolvus 63% (52/82). Present study demonstrated that feeding behaviour and gender of birds play a vital role in the prevalence and infection of avi-fauna of District Karak.

巴基斯坦开伯尔-普赫图赫瓦省卡拉克地区一些驯养和非驯养鸟类胃肠道蠕虫区系

本研究旨在对卡拉克地区不同地区家养和非家养鸟类胃肠道蠕虫的现状进行调查和评价。为此，我们捕获/收集了10个精选品种的120只鸟类。总虫率为68%(82/120)，其中野生乌鸦最高，为83%(10/12)，野生鹌鹑次之，为75%(09/12)，夜角最低，为50%(06/12)。线虫属寄生虫鉴定种数为:鸡异虫64%(53/82)，鸟圆线虫57%(47/82)，绿绿贡线虫51%(42/82)，鸡蛔虫47%(39/82)，毛缕虫(鞭虫)86%(71/82)，蛭肠虫(蛲虫)89%(73/82)，虫类分别为:刺臀虫59%(49/82)，刺臀虫57%(47/82)，四棱虫46%(38/82)，毛膜虫39%(32/82)，虫类分别为:子囊51%(42/82)，尾蚴62%(51/82)，小棘孔63%(52/82)。研究表明，鸟类的摄食行为和性别对卡拉克区鸟类动物的流行和感染起着至关重要的作用。
