Abstract:

The prevalence of ectoparaiste infestations in 158 local village chickens of various gae groups is presented. Ten species of ectoparaistes were found, of which the lice species included. Menacanthus stramineus, Cuclotogaster heterographus, Goniocotes gallinae, Goniodes dissimilis, Goniodes gigas, Lipeurus caponis, Menopon gallinae. The prevalence and degree of infestation were closely related to the age of the bird. The lice, C. heterographus and M. stramineus have not been previously recorded in local chickens.
