“…When compared with the known species of the genus Capillaria Zeder, 1800 the present specimens agree with all the characters of Capillaria anatis Travssos, 1915. The differentiating characters of the present specimens are: the presence of rugose outer shell layer of eggs and the spines of the spicular sheath which are directed towards the anterior end as in C. anatis.…”

“…Capillaria anatis (Schrank, 1790) Travssos (1915) Eighteen domestic fowls and four domestic ducks were collected from different places of the valley and autopsied in the Parasitology Research Laboratory. Out of 18 hosts only 6 were found infected with the cestodes and nematodes.…”

“…However, there are variations in the size ratio of various organs. Since these variations are of minor significance, hence the present form is assigned to C. anatis Travssos, 1915. The species is recorded for the first time from this region.…”

During a random survey of parasitisation of poultry birds of Kashmir, conducted for 3 years more than 300 poultry birds were randomly collected from different parts of the Kashmir valley and were examined for the helminth parasites. The most dominant group of parasites which was parasitizing the poultry birds was found to be the Cestode, whose prevalence in the infected birds was 76.9 %. Nematodes were found to be the second dominant group of parasites after cestodes with the prevalence of 70 %. Among the different species of nematodes Heterakis gallinae were found infecting almost all the birds autopsied. The highest intensity of H. gallinae might be because of the fact that it requires cockroaches, beetles and grasshoppers as intermediate hosts in addition of having a direct life cycle. Nematodes which were recovered from the intestine and gizzard of the birds belong to the genera Capillaria, Acuaria, Amidostomum, Streptocara, Heterakis, and Ascaridia.

“…The trematodes, cestodes, and acanthocephalans were bleached and prepared for identification according to the technique of Amato et al (1991). Identification of the specimens of Trematoda was accomplished according to Freitas (1951) and Kohn and Fernandes (1972); Cestoda according to Yamaguti (1959), Georgiev and Kornyushin (1993), and Khalil et al (1994); and Acanthocephala according to Travassos (1924) and Petrochenko (1971).…”

With the objective of identifying the helminths of Paroaria coronata, 40 birds were necropsied, and their organs and contents were examined. The parasites were preserved in 70 masculineGL alcohol and prepared for identification using standard techniques. The helminth fauna found in P. coronata were Aproctella carinii, Dispharynx nasuta, Capillaria sp., Diplotriaena sp., Tanaisia oviaspera, Tanaisia valida, Tanaisia sp., Prosthogonimus ovatus, Orthoskrjabinia sp., and Mediorhynchus sp., with Nematoda being most represented, occurring in 22.5% of the birds. Besides being the first record of these helminths in P. coronata, this work also extends the area of occurrence of Orthoskrjabinia sp. for Brazil and of A. carinii, Diplotriaena sp., T. oviaspera, T. valida, and Mediorhynchus sp. for the State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.
