Studying the relationship of Raillietina echinobothrida and Ascaridia galli in the chicken intestine
Keywords:
bird (chickens), ants, infection, rallietinosis, ascaridosis, intestinesAbstract
Experimental infestation of ants Tetramorium caespitum with invasive eggs of R. echinobothrida
was carried out and infestation of chickens with rayetinosis by feeding ants with cysticercoids was
reproduced. It has been established that antagonistic relations develop between ascaridia and rayetins
in the small intestine of chickens, as a result of which the survival rate of ascaridia decreases during
the initial infection with rayetins.
When noninfected chickens were simultaneously fed with cysticercoid-infested ants and invasive
culture of A. galli eggs, only sexually mature cestodes R. echinobothrida were recorded in the bird’s
intestines.
When chickens were given an invasive culture of A. galli eggs and after 10 days of ants infested
with cysticercoids, nematodes A. galli and cestodes R. echinobothrida were recorded in the bird’s
intestines.
