| Abstract/Description: | An epidemiological study was conducted on gastrointestinal parasitic infection in cattle of different agroclimatic zones of Sikkim during April 2001 to March 2010. Out of 13,248 faecal sample examined, 3,641 (27.48%) were found to be positive for different parasitic infection with a mean number of eggs per gram of faeces (epg), i.e. 86.037. Highest prevalence of infestation was found in the month of July (42.79%). The rate of infestation was found to be more in subtropical and high humid zone (32.52%) followed by temperate humid (22.19%) and sub-alpine low humid zone (9.59%). Overall prevalence of different parasites were strongyles (21.65%), Strongyloides (10.58%), Coccidian oocyst (5.91%), Toxocara (5.07%), Moniezia (4.47%) and Trichuris spp (1.10%). Seasonal occurrence of intestinal nematodiasis was found to be highest during summer (38.22%) and autumn (29.28%) and comparatively lower during spring (26.35%) and winter (18.99%). On coproculture of positive samples, Haemonchus,, Oesophagostomum and Bunostomum spp. |
