“…In the absence of a tick vector, other arthropods have been considered. Flies have vector potential for several pathogens (Blunt et al, 2011;Förster et al, 2007), and various other biting insects, such as mosquitoes (Baldacchino et al, 2013;Maggi, ) and hog lice (Hornok et al, 2010), are known or suspected to transmit viral, bacterial and rickettsial infections. One experimental study has shown successful mechanical transmission of ASFV to pigs by stable flies (Stomoxys calcitrans) up to 24 hr after ingesting viraemic blood and subsequently feeding on pigs.…”

Background African swine fever (ASF), a severe multi‐systemic disease in pigs, was introduced into Estonia in 2014. The majority of outbreaks have occurred during the summer months. Given that ASFV is transmitted in a sylvatic cycle that includes the transmission by African soft ticks and that mechanical transmission by flying insects was shown, transmission by other arthropod vectors need to be considered. Objectives Here, we report the results of a pilot study on flying insects caught on an outbreak farm during epidemiological investigations. Methods In brief, 15 different insect species (flies and mosquitoes) were collected by random catch using an aerial net. Nucleic acids derived from these samples or their pools were tested for African swine fever virus (ASFV) DNA by real‐time PCR. Results and Conclusions Viral DNA was detected in small quantities in two samples from flies and mosquitoes. Given the slow spread of virus within the farm, the impact of these findings seems rather low, but a role in local transmission cannot be ruled out. However, given the very low number of insects sampled, and taken into the account that viral isolation was not performed and insects outside the farm were not investigated, future investigations are needed to assess the true impact of insects as mechanical vectors.

“…Ectoparasites directly or indirectly contribute to an increase in the mortality rate in poultry (Bettridge et al, 2014;Baxter et al, 2018). Among the ectoparasites of birds, lice, ticks, fleas, and scabies are the most common in both commercial poultry farms (intensive systems) and small-scale poultry farms raised under extensive systems where sanitary control is very limited (Maggi, 2014;Murillo et al, 2017).…”

Chicken meat is renowned for numerous health benefits due to its high nutritional value, rich protein content, and low levels of cholesterol, calories, and fat. Additionally, chicken meat is more economical compared to other meats such as pork, beef, and lamb. Consequently, chicken meat is in high demand among the masses.But freerange or backyard-reared domesticated chickens get infected by parasites. Parasites are organisms that live and obtain nutrients from host organisms and often cause harm or disease. It affects the productivity of poultry farming. Parasitic infection leads to nutritional loss in meat and economic loss for poultry farmers. This study aimed to provide an overview of the morphology of external and internal parasites that affect domestic chickens. Understanding the morphology of parasites facilitates identification and diagnosis, which is crucial for developing prevention strategies to control them. In the present study, indigenous chickens were selected from different sites in Lucknow, UP, India. Ectoparsites were isolated from the outer bodies of chickens using commercial insecticide, and dislodged ectoparasites were preserved and stored. Then the chickens were slaughtered, dissected, and different organs, including the alimentary canal, were observed for endoparasitic infection. Endoparasites were isolated and preserved. Permanent slides of ectoparasites and endoparasites were prepared. Light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy were performed to observe morphological features for their identification. Ectoparasites like lice, ticks, fleas, mites and endoparasites like Ascaridia sp., Heterakis sp., Raillietina sp., and Eimeria sp. were observed.

The purpose of this research are to identify and prevalence of ectoparasite infestation in bean goats on the sub-district of Prambon, district of Nganjuk. The research was conducted from September until December 2019 with 115 samples of bean goats. The samples were identified in the Entomology and Protozoology Laboratory of Parasitology Department of the Veterinary Faculty of Airlangga University. This research use non-experimental method with survey study. This research found several kind of extoparasites that infestation bean goats, as follows: Bovicola caprae 24.3% the most infestation in dorsal region, Linognatus africanus 31.2% the most infestation in head-neck and dorsal region, Ctenocepallides felis 4.3%. Mix infestation found B. Caprae and L. Africanus 20.8%, B. Caprae and C. Felis 1%, B. Caprae, L. Africanus and C. Felis 1%. This ectoparasite usually found infestatio in head-neck, ventral, dorsal, inguinal, and ectremites. The prevalence of ectoparasites is 82.6% area at sub-district of Prambon, district of Nganjuk. The data analyzed using Chi-square test and Correspondence test. Statistically is no significant association (p>0.05) between the prevalence of ectoparasites that infested bean goats with types of stage and non-stage eclosure. This caused due to environmental conditions are dirty and many other livestock around the cage.
