“…In comparison, Abbas (37) found that S. senegalensis in Babylon province was infected with tapeworms Raillietina spp. Raillietina hymenolepidoides was first isolated from F. francolinus in Iraq, and Mariaux and Georgiev (38) were the first to record this type of worms, R. hymenolepidoides sp. nov., in the Malaysian on dove Chalcophaps indica.…”

Cestodes or tapeworms (Class Cestoda, phylum Platyhelminthes) are widespread parasites of birds, as they cause various damages, which may lead to the death of their hosts, especially when the infection is severe. The Black Francolin belongs to the Phasianidae family of pheasants and, in the order Galliformes, the gallinaceous birds, and it is called Francolinus francolinus. Considering it as a local bird in Asia, it was referred to as the black partridge. The current study was conducted from January to October 2019 to determine the cestoda infections within F. francolinus. Thirty-five birds from F. francolinus were examined for the presence of cestoda, of which 17 birds (48.57%) were infected with cestoda parasites. Molecular diagnosis based on sequences of cytochrome c oxidase 1 (COI) gene regions was performed to confirm the diagnosis of this cestoda. This revealed a close identification of up to 93.44-100% for COI gene regions with other cestoda species obtained from GenBank. Phylogenetic analysis supported the placement of this species within three families, Davaineidae, Taeniidae, and Hymenolepididae, with close relationships to the previously described species of Raillietina sp., R. mahnerti, R. hymenolepidoides, Ophryocotyloides dasi, Rodentolepis nana and Hydatigera parva based on the COI gene regions. This is the first study in Iraq to diagnose Cestoda in birds by molecular methods, where five species of cestoda parasitic on F. francolinus were recorded for the first time in Iraq.

“…Dissections, fixation and staining were performed according to standard procedures (see e.g. Mariaux & Georgiev, 2020), and stained specimens were mounted in Canada balsam. Some scoleces were squashed in Berlese's medium to facilitate examination of rostellar hooks.…”
