| Summary, etc. | Studies on the incidence of nematode infections in 340<br/>domestic ducks indicated that 67.94% of birds harboured<br/>one or more species of the following nematodes viz.,<br/>Amidostomum<br/>globocaudata<br/>skrjabini , capillaria contorta, capillaria<br/>,<br/>Echinuria<br/>uncinate,<br/>Epomidiostum<br/>uncinatum, Eustrongylides papilosus, Strongyloides avium<br/>and tetramers antis. The rate of infection was highest in<br/>the case of Epomidiostomum uncinatum (41.86% ) and<br/>lowest in the case of strongyloides avium (0.59%).<br/>The<br/>lifecycles of Echinuria uncinata and Tetramers anatis were<br/>worked out in detail. It was established that Tetramers<br/>anatis was distinct from Tetramers Fissispina.<br/>The<br/>complete details of the morphology of juveniles both within<br/>the intermediate and final hosts were given. The juveniles<br/>of Echinuria uncinata completed the first and second<br/>moultings on the third and fifth day respectively and the<br/>stage juveiles reached infective stage on the seventh day<br/>following infection in Daphnia pulex at a room temperature<br/>ranging from 25 to 30C0.<br/>In ducklings the juveniles<br/>underwent the third and fourth moultings on the third and<br/>seventh day respectively and the eggs of the parasite were<br/>first found in the droppings on the thirty- third day. The<br/>juveniles of Tetramers anatis completed first mopulting on<br/>the third day, the second moulting on the fifth day and the<br/>third stage encysted in fat bodies of the grasshopper,<br/>Spathosternum prasiniferum. The third stage juveniles<br/>attained infective stage on the sixth day following infection.<br/>Within the ducklings, the parasite underwent the third<br/>moulting on the third day.<br/>The fourth moulting in respect of males was seen on the<br/>nineth day and in the case of females on the tenth day. The<br/>prepatent period of the parasite was found to be 24 days.<br/>Development of the juveniles was also noticed in five other<br/>species of grasshoppers viz., Oxya nitidula, Oedaleus<br/>abruptus, Conocephalus maculatus, Ducetia Japonica and<br/>Atractomorpha crenulata. No development of Tetrameres<br/>anatis, beyound the first stage was observed inDaphnia<br/>Pulex and Daphnia Magna on experimental infection.<br/>Anaemic changes with significant reduction in weight gain<br/>and haematological values were observed in experimental<br/>infections of Tetrameres anatis, Amidostomum skrjabini<br/>and Epomidiostomum uncinatum. Histopathological<br/>changes like haemorrahage, desquamation of cells, catarrbal<br/>inflammation and necrosis were seen in experimental<br/>tetramerosis. Ulceration and atrophy were also evident in<br/>amidostomiasis and epomidiostomiasis.<br/>The anthelmintic efficacy of 9 drugs against adult worms of<br/>Tetrameres anatis, Amidostomum skrjabini and<br/>Epomidiostomum uncinatum under experimental infections<br/>were determined. The efficacies against tetramerosis,<br/>amidostomiasis and epomidiostomiasis were<br/>79.23%,32.15% and 79.88% with Tetramisole by<br/>drochloride at 50 mg/kg body weight; 70.36%, 52.42% and<br/>50.23% with phenothiazine at 500 mg/kg; 26.85%, 74.8%<br/>and 65.68% with Morantel tartrate at 40mg/kg; 45.70%<br/>67.29% and 57.84% with Parbendazole at 100 mg/kg;<br/>41,0%’63/93% and 43.13% with Thiabendazole at 200<br/>mg/kg; 59.28%,61.06% and 52.66% with<br/>Carbontetrachloride at 2ml/kg; 35.94%, 30,12% and<br/>13.13% with Methyridine at 200 mg/kg; 28.87% 20.17% and<br/>11.32% with Disophenol at 10 mg/kg and 31.02%, 39.04%<br/>and 12.66% with Cashewnut shell oil at 10 g/kg body weight<br/>respeectively. The drug Rametin at 200 mg/kg was found to<br/>be fatal to ducklings.<br/>In a cross infection trial delyed development and lesser<br/>percentage of establishement of Ascaridia galli of fowl origin<br/>were observed in ducklings as compared to chicks.<br/> |
