STUDIES ON PREVALENCE OF ANAPLOCEPHALIDEAN CESTODE PARASITES OF GOAT IN PAITHAN, DISTRICT AURANGABAD

Dr. Satish Saraf

Abstract


The present investigation deals with the preliminary survey of cestode parasites such as Moniezia sp, collected from the intestine of Goat i.e. Capra hircus (L.) in Paithan, Aurangabad district (M.S.) India during June, 2017 to May, 2018. The high incidence of infection of all these species Moniezia sp. was recorded in summer season (76.92%%) followed by winter season (60%) whereas infection was low in rainy season (53.84%%). The results of present study clearly indicate that environmental factors and feeding habitat influence the seasonality of parasitic infection either directly or indirectly.
