Abstract

The present investigations deals with the preliminary survey of three avian cestode parasites viz. Cotugnia dignopora, Cotugnia diamarae and Raillietina domestica collected from the intestine of a Gallus gallus domesticus at different collection sites of Nanded district (M.S.) India during February, 2012 to January, 2013. The high prevalence of all cestode parasites occur in summer season followed by winter season whereas lower infections in monsoon season.
