About the Book

The gastrointestinal (GI) parasites always cause severe illness in Zoo animals where the animals are kept in small-range of area. The parasites like trematodes, cestodes, protozoans (coccidians, amoeboids, ciliates & flagellates), nematodes & acanthocephalas, are the common GI parasites found in the free ranging & captive animals. Although regular de-worming program is carried out at the Alipore Zoo randomly-twice annually for birds and 3 months alternatively for mammals in a year. In addition to this, a random stool test for the presence of parasites is also performed. The GI parasites remain a serious health problem in these captive animals (birds & mammals). The present study is designed for extensive investigation of GI parasites in 49 different vertebrate host species (23 mammals & 26 birds) captivated at one of the oldest, well managed Zoological Garden based on stool examination for consecutive 3 yrs, from March, 2007- February, 2010, on monthly basis.
