Abstract

Galliformes have a global distribution and are bred by humans as domestic animals or game birds. The world's poultry population is increasing due to high consumer demand for poultry products. Due to the increasing growth of Galliformes breeding, this study aimed to investigate gastrointestinal parasites in the feces of some species of Galliformes. In the present study, 100 distinct fecal samples were collected from seven different Galliformes species, including rural chickens, peacocks, partridges, pheasants, turkeys, quails, and guinea fowls. Sampling of each bird was performed separately, and these birds were kept in cages. In order to identify gastrointestinal parasites, the samples were evaluated using the Clayton-Lane method, the Modified Ziehl-Neelsen, and the Trichrome staining methods. Among 100 birds sampled, 53% were positive for gastrointestinal parasites. Moreover, 30%, 18%, and 5% of birds were infected with Eimeria spp., nematodes, and Giardia spp., respectively. The highest rate of parasitic infestation in Galliformes was related to protozoan infections, and the highest rate of protozoan infection was related to Eimeria (30%). In addition, complex infestation was not detected. Considering that most parasitic infections have been detected in apparently healthy birds, it is recommended to observe hygiene to regularly disinfect cages and reduce the density of birds in the nests. Due to the zoonotic potential of Giardia and the contamination of some birds with this parasite, this issue should be considered by public health officials, bird sellers' markets, owners, and breeders of these birds.

调查肠道寄生虫,重点是瘿蚊粪便中的人畜共患寄生虫。
胆形目家禽分布于全球各地,是人类饲养的家畜或野禽。由于消费者对家禽产品的高需求,全球家禽数量不断增加。由于胆形目家禽饲养量的不断增长,本研究旨在调查一些胆形目家禽粪便中的胃肠道寄生虫。本研究从 7 种不同的胆形目动物(包括农村鸡、孔雀、鹧鸪、雉鸡、火鸡、鹌鹑和珍珠鸡)中收集了 100 份不同的粪便样本。每种禽类的样本都是单独采集的,而且这些禽类都被关在笼子里。为了确定胃肠道寄生虫,采用克莱顿-莱恩法、改良齐氏-奈尔森法和三色染色法对样本进行了评估。在取样的 100 只禽鸟中,53% 的禽鸟对胃肠道寄生虫呈阳性反应。此外,分别有 30%、18% 和 5%的禽类感染了艾美耳属、线虫和贾第鞭毛虫。胆形目鸟类中寄生虫感染率最高的是原生动物,而原生动物感染率最高的是艾美拉虫(30%)。此外,未发现复合寄生虫。考虑到大多数寄生虫感染都是在表面健康的鸟类身上发现的,因此建议注意卫生,定期对鸟笼进行消毒,并降低鸟巢中鸟类的密度。由于贾第虫有可能成为人畜共患病,而且一些鸟类受到这种寄生虫的污染,因此公共卫生官员、鸟类销售市场、鸟类所有者和饲养者都应考虑这一问题。
