Abstract

Prevalence and seasonal variation of gastrointestinal helminths of local pigs were studied by examining 60 gastrointestinal tracts. Out of the GI tracts, 50(83.33%) were found positive, mixed infection was more common and a maximum of 7 different helminth species were recorded from one GI tract. The incidence rate of 10 different helminthes were Gastrodiscoides hominis (60.00%), Gastrodiscus aegyptiacus (15.00%), Fasciolopsis buski (51.66%), Schistosoma suis (30.00%), Artifechinostomum sufrartyfex (23.33%), Trichuris suis (35.00%), Ascarops strongylina (40.00%), Physocephalus sexalatus (33.33%), Simondsia paradoxa (06.66%) and Oesophagostomum dentatum (11.66%). Seasonal variation showed highest prevalence during the rainy season (99.00%), followed by winter (84.21%) and summer (76.19%).
