| effect and repeatability of ascaridia galli egg output in cockerels following a single low dose infection. | three groups of caged 20 tetra-sl cockerels aged 1 day were orally infected with 30, 60 or 125 embryonated ascaridia galli eggs. after 11, 12 and 13 weeks, faecal egg counts (fecs) were determined. all birds were slaughtered after the last sampling. a group of 25 control birds was sampled and slaughtered in parallel. the gastrointestinal tracts were examined for the presence of adult stages of a. galli. a random sample of 10% was also examined for the presence of immature stages of a. galli. the ... | 2001 | 11267756 |
| investigation of the parasitic nematode ascaridia galli (shrank 1788) as a potential vector for salmonella enterica dissemination in poultry. | during recent years, the level of organically farmed poultry in denmark has increased. subsequent investigations have demonstrated an incidence of 64% of ascaridia galli infections in layers established in organic farming systems. studies to determine the interaction of salmonella enterica with the parasitic nematode a. galli associated with poultry were undertaken to establish the significance of a. galli in the dissemination of s. enterica. a. galli was isolated from 40-week-old lohmann brown ... | 2001 | 11355682 |
| genetic resistance to ascaridia galli infections in chickens. | ascaridiosis is still a cause of economic losses in modern poultry production systems. improving genetic resistance to this disease provides an attractive alternative for free-range organic poultry producers and will eventually reduce the extensive use of anthelmintic drugs. an experiment was conducted to compare resistance to ascaridia galli infections in lohman brown (lb) and danish landrace (dl) chickens. a self-cure mechanism to a. galli infections was observed in both breeds. however, signi ... | 2001 | 11705656 |
| study of gastro-intestinal helminths of scavenging chickens in four rural districts of amhara region, ethiopia. | a total of 267 rural scavenging chickens were examined from october 1998 to august 1999 in four woredas (districts) of the amhara region, ethiopia. of these chickens, 243 (91.01%) were found to harbour one to nine different helminth parasites and 24 (8.99%) were free of helminth parasites. a significant difference (p < 0.01) was found between the prevalence rates of helminth parasites in the different agro-ecological zones; the highest prevalence was observed in the lowland areas. this suggests ... | 2001 | 11732422 |
| genetic differences of ascaridia galli egg output in laying hens following a single dose infection. | groups of 20-week-old white (lohmann lsl) and brown (lohmann brown) hens were reared under helminth-free conditions and both divided into two subgroups. one subgroup was artificially infected with 250 embryonated ascaridia galli eggs, the other subgroup were kept as uninfected controls. during the following 12-month laying period individual faecal ascaridia egg counts (fec) were performed and bodyweight measured at monthly intervals. laying performance and egg weights were determined daily. the ... | 2002 | 11751005 |
| the effect of plasmodium gallinaceum on a challenge infection with ascaridia galli in chickens. | the effect of a primary infection with the haemoparasite plasmodium gallinaceum on the establishment of a challenge infection with the nematode ascaridia galli in chickens was studied. four groups were infected as follows. group 1: inoculated intravenously with 10(6) p. gallinaceum-infected erythrocytes on day 0; group 2: orally infected with 500 embryonated a. galli eggs on day 10; group 3: infected with p. gallinaceum on day 0 and a. galli on day 10; and group 3: non-infected control birds. th ... | 2002 | 11879963 |

| optimal treatment of ascaridia galli-infected chickens with salts of trace elements and a kinetic model for chicken growth. | data from seven experiments with ascaridia galli-infected chickens have been considered. the results of treatment with neutral and basic copper, zinc and copper-zinc salts and inorganic and organic manganese compounds have been compared. an optimal therapy, containing a pure cu basic salt (cu2(oh)3cl) and an organic mn compound (2gly.mncl2.2h2o), is proposed to correct mineral deficiencies and pathological symptoms and to ensure lower mortality and higher gains in body weight. a mathematical mod ... | 2002 | 12018201 |
| a comparison of the prevalence and burdens of helminth infections in growers and adult free-range chickens. | matched samples of 100 chickens of each of growers and adult rural free-range chickens in morogoro, tanzania, were purchased from the beginning to the end of the long rainy season. at necropsy, the trachea, the gastrointestinal tract and the oviduct were examined for helminth infections. the helminth species isolated comprised 18 nematodes and 8 cestodes but no trematodes. tetrameres fissispina is a new record in tanzania. all the chickens harboured at least three different helminth species. gro ... | 2002 | 12094676 |
| ecto-, endo- and haemoparasites in free-range chickens in the goromonzi district in zimbabwe. | a cross-sectional study determined the prevalence of ecto-, endo- and haemoparasites in free-range chickens from the goromonzi district, zimbabwe. fifty young and 50 adult birds were selected randomly. all chickens harboured ecto- and endoparasites, and 32% were infected with haemoparasites. eight different ectoparasites were identified; the more prevalent ones had the following prevalences (young, %; adult, %): argas persicus (6; 14), cnemidocoptes mutans (6; 32), echidnophaga gallinacea (72; 7 ... | 2002 | 12114010 |
| the effect of cobalt compounds on uninfected and ascaridia galli-infected chickens: a kinetic model for ascaridia galli populations and chicken growth. | the effect of dietary cobalt from three different sources on uninfected and ascaridia galli-infected hisex chickens, has been studied. the chicken diet was supplemented with 0.06 co2+ kg-1 food either in the form of two glycine-cobalt compounds or mixed zinc-cobalt basic salt. an excess of dietary cobalt in small doses increases the gain of body weight and decreases host mortality. a greater bioefficiency of cobalt was established in infected chickens. a mathematical model has been used to provi ... | 2002 | 12498634 |
