Introduction
Ascaridia galli is a parasitic roundworm（寄
生蛔虫）belonging to the phylum Nematoda
（线性动物门）.
Nematodes of the genus Ascaridia（禽蛔
属） are essentially intestinal parasites（
肠道寄生虫）of birds.
A. galli is the most prevalent and
pathogenic species （致病性）, especially in
domestic fowl （鸡）.
It causes ascaridiasis, a disease of poultry
（家禽） due to heavy worm infection,
particularly in chicken and turkeys （火鸡）.

Life cycle
The development from egg to
adult infectious need 5~8
weeks.
Adult life span of about 1
years
Adults Parasite in the
stomach or small intestine
Occasionlly ,earthworms
become into storage host with
swallowing their eggs

Epidemiology
Ascaridia galli infection occurs in the rearing
chickens, and the chickens kept in cages Is less
common.
The nematode infects fowl of all ages, but the
chickens at three months of age is most
susceptible and the disease is more serious .
Symptoms
Heavy infection is
2
the major cause of
weight depression
and reduced egg
production
In severe infections, intestinal blockage
can occur. Unthriftiness, drooping of the
wings, bleaching of the head
and emaciation. It also causes loss of
blood, reduced blood sugar content,
increased urates, shrunken thymus glands,
retarded growth and greatly
increased mortality.
in poultry
husbandry.

In heavy infections, adult worms may

move up the oviduct and be found in hens'
eggs, and sometimes they are also found
in the birds' feces.[11]
Lesions
At early phase of infection, the
intestinal mucosa of chicken
always appear bleeding or
hyperaemia（充血、出血） and
edema（水肿）.The larva（幼虫）
forms parasitic tubercle in parasitic
location, even arouse intestine
rupture（肠破裂）, peritonitis （腹膜
炎）. By cutting intestinal tract, a
large amount of parasites can be
discovered.

Diagnosis
Definite diagnosis :
floating method with saturated salt
solution (饱和盐水浮集法)
or discovering large number of the
parasite（虫体） when cutting the small
intestine （小肠）at autopsy（剖检）
根据粪便中发现虫卵或剖检时在小肠内发现
大量虫体
Treatment and Control
1、Treatment :
praziquantel(吡喹酮)
albendazole(丙硫苯咪唑)
Fenbendazole(芬苯达挫）
2、Comprehensive prevention(综合性预防
措施):I
Regular de-worming
Improvement of breeding and management
.
Improve hygiene and the resistance
Harmless disposal of feces
