| a survey of parasitic nematode infections of chickens in rural zimbabwe. | a survey to determine the nematode species in rural chickens reared extensively was carried out in six districts of zimbabwe. two-hundred-and-seventy chickens were randomly collected from the districts and processed for helminth recovery. one genus and 10 species were identified from the gastrointestinal tract but no parasites were found in the respiratory tract and eyes. skrjabinocerca sp., capillaria obsignata, capillaria contorta and trichostrongylus tenuis are new records in zimbabwe. alloda ... | 2001 | 11769349 |
| 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 |

| tetrameres americana cram (1927) populations in chickens infected with different dose levels. | three groups of 20-45 lohman brown chickens aged 3 weeks were orally infected with doses of 25, 100 and 400 tetrameres americana, respectively. fifteen chickens were kept as uninfected controls. every third week in a period of 12 weeks, 5-15 chickens were slaughtered and the proventriculi were examined for the presence of adult stages of t. americana. from day 21 post-infection, pooled feacal samples were examined for parasite eggs, whereas the weight gain of the chickens was monitored weekly. t ... | 2004 | 15381303 |
| an experimental infection model for tetrameres americana (cram 1927). | an experimental infection model for the heteroecious spiruid nematode tetrameres americana (cram 1927) was developed. the cockroach blattella germanica (l.) and the locust locusta migratoria (l.) were found to serve as intermediate hosts for the parasite. t. americana larvae developed to full maturity in these intermediate hosts and were infective to young lohman brown chickens after 32 days in the cockroach and 28 days in the locust. the maximum length of the larvae was reached in the insects a ... | 2004 | 15616857 |
