“…However, higher prevalence rate(50.7%) was reported by Dey et al (2008a) in Mymensingh district of Bangladesh and Silva-Iturriza et al(2012) in the central Philippine islands (42.0%). The more or less similar prevalence (29.5%) was recorded by Elahi et al (2014) in wetland birds in Bangladesh, Sehgal et al (2005) in Equatorial Guinea and Ivory Coast (28.6%), and Momin et al (2014) in poultry in Tangail district, Bangladesh (22.7%). These variations might be due to the differences in geographic niches, climatic conditions, breed of birds, management factors, availability of vectors and the method of study.…”

Avian haematozoans are important pathogens of birds causing asymptomatic to fatal infections. The present study was undertaken to investigate the prevalence and associated risk factors of malaria parasite infections in domestic chickens and ducks in three localities namely Mymensingh, Tangail and Netrokona districts in Bangladesh. In total, 474 blood smears (266 chickens and 208 ducks) were screened for haemoprotozoan infection during the period from March, 2016 to February, 2017. Blood samples were collected from wing vein by needle puncture. The parasites were identified from Giemsa stained thin blood smears based on morphological features using standard keys. Malaria protozoa was found in 60 birds (12.7%), of which 35 were chickens (13.2%) and 25 were ducks (12.0%). Two species of blood protozoa were identified namely Leucocytozoon spp. (10.5%) and Plasmodium spp. (2.1%). The prevalence of haemoprotozoa was found high among the adults (13.9%) while it was 11.2% among young birds. Female (15.2%) was 1.46 times more susceptible than male (10.9%).The prevalence rate was highest in Netrokona (18.9%) followed by Tangail (12.2%) and Mymensingh (8.7%). In this study, the prevalence rate was highest in rainy season (18.3%), moderate in summer (10%) and less in winter season (9.3%). Present study revealed that these haemorpotozoa are capable of infecting indigenous domestic chicken and duck. Further studies should focus on characterization of the malaria parasites of indigenous chickens and ducks in Bangladesh.

“…No significant relationship was found between the prevalence of infection among chicks and adults (P>0.05). Significant differences were observed by Paul et al [31] and Momin et al [32] in Bangladesh and the infection was highly prevalent in adults. High prevalence of endoparasites in adult birds could be due to their gregariousness as compared to chicks, therefore, exposing them to more intermediate hosts than the former.…”

Poultry industry occupies an important position in the provision of animal protein and plays a vital role in the national economy. Helminthiasis caused by helminth parasites is one of the most common infections affecting health of poultry and indirectly leading to great economic loss among small livestock holders. The prevalence of gastrointestinal helminth parasites in Gallus gallus domesticus was studied from January 2017 to December 2019 in the

“…Haemoprotozoa infection is common in the domestic birds but poorly studied in Bangladesh (THE RAFFLES BULLETIN OF ZOOLOGY, 2008). Some researchers reported haemoprotozoa of different species in poultry in Bangladesh (MOMIN, 2014;DEY et al, 2010).…”

The blood protozoa of two important domestic birds namely chickens (Gallus domesticus) and pigeon (Columba livia) reared in the hilly areas of Bangladesh were studied. A total of 400 birds (200 chicken and 200 pigeons) were examined of which 149 (37.3%) [95% CI] birds were found infected by one or more haemoprotozoan parasites. Haemoprotozoa belonging to three genera were identified. Pigeon 80 (40%) was recorded more susceptible to haemoprotozoa infection than chicken 69 (34.5%). 118 birds (29.5%) were found to be infected with single infection where as mixed infections were found in 31 birds (7.8%). The prevalence of blood protozoa in female birds (69.5%) was found significantly higher (p ≤ 0.0001) [95% CI] than male birds (5%). Within the study period, the prevalence rate of Haemoprotozoa was 60.6% in summer season, 36.7% in rainy and 23% winter seasons. This study has archived a high prevalence of haemoparasites, henceforth encourage further to determine the effect of contamination on the productivity and profitability of these birds, and evaluation of cost-benefit of various control strategies need to be undertaken.
