Histopathological studies on intestine of Columba livia Gmellin, 1789 infected with cestode parasites
Abstrak
In the present study an attempt has been made to visualize the histopathological changes that are caused to the intestine of avian host Columba livia, Gmellin, 1789 due to infestation of cestode parasite Cotugnia aurangabadensis (Shinde,1969) and Paruterina sp. Histopathological studies have been made to asses the extent of damage caused by the parasites. It includes destruction and extrusion of intestinal villi, inflammatory fibrosis due to cysts. The scolex of Cotugnia aurangabadensis is non-penetrative type while Paruterina sp. is penetrative type. It was found that the extent of damage is proportional to the penetration of scolex. Cysts were found encircled with connective tissue sheath deep in the submucosa.
