New Scanning Electron Microscopy Look of Ascaridia galli (Schrank, 1788) Adult Worm and its Biological Control

Environmental tolerance of free-living stages of the poultry roundworm Ascaridia galli

“…In the anterior end, both sexes have a prominent mouth with three distinct lips, bearing teethlike denticles on their edges (Hassanain et al 2009). The entire body is covered with a thick cuticle, which is striated transversely throughout the length of the body.…”

Cuticular surface damage of Ascaridia galli adult worms treated with Veitchia merrillii betel nuts extract in vitro

“…The study of Hassanain et al . [ 1 ] analyzed the similarity component of A. galli body surface. According to some investigators who observed ultrastructurally the body wall of normal A. galli adult worm consists of longitudinal muscle layer, syncytial hypodermis, cuticle, and epicuticle [ 32 , 38 ].…”

“…Infestation by intestinal roundworm Ascaridia galli called ascaridiosis presents a main threat to the indigenous poultry production in most parts of the world. Ascaridiosis is prevalent in several countries such as Egypt [ 1 ], Bangladesh [ 2 , 3 ], Germany [ 4 ], Jordan [ 5 ], India [ 6 , 7 ], Iraq [ 8 ], and Indonesia [ 9 , 10 ]. Heavily infected chickens may cause damaging the integrity of intestinal villi [ 7 , 8 ], intestinal mucosal defense can be changed [ 10 ], lumen contained thick white pasty mucous, enteritis, and intestinal wall appeared to be thickened with mucosa giving a velvety appearance [ 7 ], and nutrient utilization can be show affected which decreased weight gain [ 11 ].…”

Histopathological Changes of Egg Cells in the Uterine of Ascaridia galli after Treatment with Extract of Veitchia merrillii Nuts

“…Setelah pencucian, potongan tersebut diwarnai dengan latar eosin dan ditutup dengan kaca penutup. Perubahan morfologi diamati pada setiap bagian uterus dalam tubuh cacing di bawah microskop cahaya dengan menggunakan pandangan mata (eyepiece ×10, objective ×40) seperti dijelaskan oleh peneliti terdahulu (Hassanain et al, 2009;Darmawi et al, 2013) dengan modifikasi tertentu.…”
