aim to determine the prevalence of gastrointestinal helminth in domestically
farmed chicken in İpekyolu, Tuşba and Edremit districts in Van Province in
Turkey. Feces of 185 chicken were examined and 78 chicken (42.16%) yielded
positive results for single species, 26 (14.05%) were positive for two species,
and 6 chicken (3.25%) were positive for three species. Six helminth eggs, four
nematodes and two cestodes, were detected in infected chicken feces. Those
infected with single species were studied based on helminth and infection types
and the rates of infection was determined as: &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Capillaria &amp;lt;/i&amp;gt; spp. 23
(12.50%), &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Heterakis gallinarum &amp;lt;/i&amp;gt; 19 (10.32%), &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Ascaridia &amp;lt;/i&amp;gt; spp. 18
(9.78%), &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Raillietina &amp;lt;/i&amp;gt; spp. 8 (4.35%), &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Davania proglottina &amp;lt;/i&amp;gt; 6
(3.26%), &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Trichostrongylus tenuis &amp;lt;/i&amp;gt; 4 (2.17%). The infection determined in
feces caused by two species were &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Capillaria &amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;spp. &amp;lt;i&amp;gt; + Heterakis
gallinarum &amp;lt;/i&amp;gt; 10 (5.43%), &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Capillaria &amp;lt;/i&amp;gt; spp. + &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Ascaridia &amp;lt;/i&amp;gt; spp. 8
(4.35%), &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Heterakis gallinarum &amp;lt;/i&amp;gt; + &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Ascaridia &amp;lt;/i&amp;gt; spp. 7 (3.78%), &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Raillietina &amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;
spp. + &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Davania proglottina &amp;lt;/i&amp;gt; 1 (0.54%) and infection determined in feces
caused by three species were determined as &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Capillaria &amp;lt;/i&amp;gt; spp. + &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Heterakis
gallinarum &amp;lt;/i&amp;gt; + &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Davania proglottina &amp;lt;/i&amp;gt; 4 (2.17%) and &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Capillaria &amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;
spp. + &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Heterakis gallinarum &amp;lt;/i&amp;gt; + &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Trichostrongylus tenuis &amp;lt;/i&amp;gt; 2 (1.09%).
The findings of the present study indicated that helminth infections were significantly
prevalent in domestic chicken in Van Province in Turkey. &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;}, number={4}, publisher={Afyon Kocatepe University}
