“…These findings are in agreement with those reported previously from Nigeria (Otegbade & Morenikeji, 2014). Contrasting results reported an overall prevalence higher than one of the this survey (Parsani et al, 2001;Pérez Cordón et al, 2009;Papini et al, 2012;El-Shahawy & Abou Elenien, 2015;Akram et al, 2019) coming up to 100% (Yousfi et al, 2013;Hoque et al, 2014;Edosomwan & Igetei, 2018).…”

“…Nematodes of the Capillarid, including Capillaria genus, can infect a large spectrum of birds and cause, in case of high intensity of infection, a clinical disease associated with emaciation, anorexia and diarrhea (Yabsley, 2009). Capillaria eggs were identified in captive birds with an infection rate of 5.6%, 11.41%, 10%, 14.1% in Egypt, Pakistan, Spain and Nigeria respectively, and considered as the most prevalent gastro-intestinal parasite in these last two reports (Pérez Cordón et al, 2009;Otegbade & Morenikeji, 2014;El-Shahawy & Abou Elenien, 2015;Akram et al, 2019). In northwestern Algeria, adult forms of Capillaria species were identified in domestic hens, with predominance of Capillaria caudinflata Molin, 1858 (Yousfi et al, 2013).…”

“…Low diversity of gastrointestinal parasites in captive and domestic birds from zoological parks and one rural locality of Algeria in several surveys worldwide (Faust & Pappas, 1977;Papini et al, 2012;El-Shahawy & Abou Elenien, 2015;Carrera-Játiva et al, 2018;Edosomwan & Igetei, 2018;Akram et al, 2019). Cryptosporidium, Eimeria, Capillaria and larvae of strongyles were seen with prevalence of 6%, 4.8%, 3.6%, and 4.8%, respectively.…”

“…Different parasitic infections have been reported from different animals from Pakistan, and it is reported that parasitic infections pose great threat to health of animals and human [13,14,15]. Canine babesiosis is caused by intraerythrocytic parasites of the genus Babesia , causing a considerable worldwide threat to the canine population.…”

Canine babesiosis is a serious threat to dogs’ health worldwide, caused by the intra-erythrocytic Babesia species. The present study was carried out in pet dogs presented at three clinics of Lahore and one of Narowal in Punjab, Pakistan. Two hundred blood samples (50 from each clinic) were collected and screened by microscopy for Babesia spp. Out of 200 samples, 84 (42%) were found to be positive for babesiosis. The highest number of positive cases (50%) was recorded in dogs at Narowal clinic. Non-significant variation (p > 0.05) was observed in the prevalence of babesiosis in dogs in relation to sex and age. Positive samples were further confirmed by a polymerase chain reaction using 18S-rRNA genus-specific and species-specific primers. Amplicons were further analyzed by nucleotide sequencing for genetic diversity. Babesia canis and gibsoni were confirmed by genome sequencing in all diseased dogs. These isolates closely resembled each other, but differed from previous reported strains. In conclusion, pet dogs suffering from babesiosis were infected with B. canis and gibsoni, while in other countries, other Babesia species are also prevalent.

“…Eimeria is a specie that infects broiler and AV proved to be an immunostimulant against it (Akhtar et al, 2011). These protozoal pathogens have their life cycle within the range of one and two weeks (Akram et al, 2019a). Humoral and cellular immune response was boosted by the use of AV in poultry diets.…”

Phytogenic feed additives have replaced the use of antibiotic growth promoters (AGP) in the diet of poultry particularly broiler chickens. Researchers are moving towards the use of natural products such as herbs, spices, plants and plant products, which possess influential effects on growth performance parameters, immune response and treatment of various diseases. Aloe vera is a well-known medicinal plant and is being used for commercial and therapeutic purposes such as antimicrobials, antitumor, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulator, wound healing, antioxidant and antiprotozoal agents. From a few last decades, the use of Aloe vera has been increased as a natural additive to broiler diet. Based on the review of literature, Aloe vera can improve immune response, growth performance in the broiler, as well as an excellent alternative of AGPs and anticoccidial drugs. It can be used for broiler diet in the form of gel, powder, ethanolic extract and aqueous extract. This review provides information about the use of Aloe vera in broiler production with reference to the effects on growth performance, immune system, intestinal microflora and coccidiosis in broiler chickens.
