The survey of tapeworm infection in the intestinal tract of Gallus domesticus

Thirty-five samples of live chicken bought from Paco Public Market during the months of April and May, were examined for the presence of tapeworms. All 35 (100 %) chickens were positive for tapeworm infection while 24 (68.6%) were infected with roundworm. The total number of 901 tapeworms (x=26 per...
