Abstract
The study was conducted to investigate the incidence of gastrointestinal parasites of buffalo in different slaughter houses of Chittagong Metropolitan Area, Bangladesh. A total of 100 faecal samples were collected from three slaughter houses and studied by coproscopic examinations. Direct smear, sedimentation and floatation techniques along with egg micrometry were conducted to identify various parasitic eggs. Among 100 faecal samples 69% were positive for different individual parasitic infestation. Trematodes, nematodes, cestodes and protozoan infestations were 48%, 16%, 2% and 3%, respectively. Among the trematodes Schistosoma sp. (23%), Paramphistomum sp. (15%) and Fasciola sp. (10%) were found. Incidence of nematode infestations were Toxocara sp ( 4%) , Oesophagostomum sp . (5%), Cooperia sp . (2%) , Bunostomum sp. (3%) and 1% for both Trihostrongylus sp. and Strongyloides sp. Mixed infection were observed 7% of positive samples. Results indicate that the heavy worm burden in buffaloes causes severe economic loss to the farmers by reducing the overall productivity.

本研究旨在调查孟加拉国吉大港市区不同屠宰场水牛胃肠道寄生虫的发病率。从3个屠宰场收集了100份粪便样本,并进行了肠镜检查。采用直接涂片法、沉降法、浮法及虫卵显微法对各种寄生虫卵进行了鉴定。100份粪便样本中,69%呈不同个体寄生虫感染阳性。吸虫、线虫、囊虫和原生动物侵染率分别为48%、16%、2%和3%。吸虫中发现有血吸虫(23%)、副吸虫(15%)和片形吸虫(10%)。线虫侵染发生率为弓形虫(4%)、食道口虫(4%);(5%), Cooperia sp .阳性样品中混合感染占7%,单口虫占2%,三圆线虫和圆形线虫均占1%。结果表明,水牛体内的蠕虫负担过重,降低了农民的综合生产力,给农民造成了严重的经济损失。DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/ujzru.v30i0.10703 Univ. j. zool。Rajshahi university .
