ABSTRACT
Fadhel Al, Azawi
AK., Gastrointestinal helminthes and molecular identification of Raillietina
species in pigeons (Columba livia domestica),
Onl J Vet Res., 24 (1):54-59, 2020. This study was carried during NH
Winter 2018 to March 2019 to determine prevalence and
identification of gastro intestinal Raillietina
spp. helminthes by PCR in 90 domestic or wild pigeons (Columba livia) in Baghdad, Iraq. In wild
pigeons prevalence was 76% and 71% in domestic ones (P>0.05). We used
18SrRNA gene to identify Raillietina spp from 100 pigeon and 3 specific primers, revealing
prevalence of 86% with 69% being R. echinobothrida, 10% R.
cesticillus and 7% R. tetragona.
Keywords: Prevalence, Raillietina spp, types, Pigeons.
