Abstract :

Poultry breeding in free environmental situation may cause an extensive band of parasiticinfection in them. In the present study, 110 native poultry from wet regions (Gorgan,Minoodasht, Azadshahr, Aliabad katool, Kalaleh, and Galikesh) and dry regions (Gonbad-eKavoos and agh-ghala) in 2009 were collected randomly. After necropsy of trachea anddigestive system, its includings were checked by helminth existence and mucosal intestinesamples were checked by digestion prptozoa. Moreover, external coat and surface of poultrywere studied for presence of ectoparasites. Meanwhile, blood samples of poultry were studiedfor blood protozoa.Results showed that 97.27% of native poultry in Golestan province were infected to parasitesand isolated parasites were including: Heterakis galinarum (18.18%), Subulura brumpti(7.27%), Acuaria spiralis (5.45%), Capilaria sp (1.81%), Ascaridia galli (48.18%), Syngamustrachea (15.45%), Hymenolepis sp (2.73%), Choanotaenia infundibulum (11.81%), Railietinatetragona (53.63%), Railietina cesticyllus (14.45%), Railietina echinobothrida (25.45%),Drepanidotaenia lanceolata (1.81%), Menopon gallinae (72.72%), Argas persicus (13.63%),Menocanthus stramineus (0.9%), Goniodes dissimilis (1.81%), Dermanyssus gallinae (1.81%),Haemoproteus sp (1.81%), and Eimeria spp (2.73%). Therefore, it seems that it is necessary tocontrol of parasitic infection in poultry of Golestan province is possible by applying specificmanagement method and control of their vectors.
