Biological Characteristics of the Cestode Choanotaenia Infundibulum (Bloch, 1779)

Abstract

In order to develop poultry breeding in the world, in addition to management and organizational activities, scientific research is being conducted on the health of birds and the environment in which they live[1,8]. The negative impact of helminthic diseases caused by parasitic worms on the development and productivity of the poultry sector, and scientific research aimed at its prevention, are becoming particularly relevant. Helminthosis (ascariasis, heterokidosis, echinostomatidosis, rayetinosis, hymenolepidosis, choanoteniosis, capillariosis, etc.) of wild chickens and domestic poultry, especially in chickens, causes great economic damage to poultry farms in many countries, including our republic, and causes a decrease in the number of chickens, especially chicks. Accordingly, identification of helminth species diversity, biology, ecology and distribution, development of control and prevention measures are urgent problems.
