Observations on the occurrence of Heterakis gallinarum in laying hens kept on soil [PDF]
The occurrence of Heterakis gallinarum infection in a flock of Rhode Island Red laying hens is described. These hens were entirely kept in houses on a farm for commercial egg production, where a deep litter production system was adopted.

Anthelmintic action of Morinda citrifolia (noni) on Heterakis gallinarum
Ação anti-helmíntica da Morinda citrifolia (noni) sobre Heterakis gallinarum [PDF]
The anthelmintic effect of Morinda citrifolia (noni) on Heterakis gallinarum was evaluated in chicken naturally infected. The anthelmintic activity in vitro was determined in adults helminthes in disposable petri dishes, containing Tyrode solution, pre ...

Heterakis gallinarum is a relatively nonpathogenic organism, but it is important as the transport host for the pathogenic protozoan Histomonas meleagridis. A mathematical model was developed to describe the population dynamics of Heterakis gallinarum in a turkey flock to study its kinetics in a number of hosts. The model includes quantitative (parasite

Differential detection of Ascaridia galli and Heterakis gallinarum eggs in intestinal and caecal excreta of floor-housed laying hens: a longitudinal study [PDF]
Ascaridia galli and Heterakis gallinarum, the most prevalent nematodes of chickens, inhabit the small intestine and caeca, respectively, and often co-occur.

Morphomolecular identification of heavy parasitic typhlitis in layer flocks: tissue response and cell-mediated reaction [PDF]
Background Heterakis gallinarum (H. gallinarum) is a common poultry parasite that can be found in the ceca of many gallinaceous bird species, causing minor pathology and reduced weight gain.

Diversity of Parasitic Fauna in Semi-Scavenging Indigenous Chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus) in Bangladesh. [PDF]
GI helminth and lice are highly prevalent in indigenous semi‐scavenging chickens. Seven species of helminths were detected, and Raillietina was predominant. Three species of lice were identified and Menopon gallinae was most abundant. Co‐infection was observed in helminth infections and lice infestation.

Evaluation of the detection method by a flotation method using a wire loop for gastrointestinal parasites. [PDF]
Graphical abstract ► Utility of a flotation method with the use of a wire loop of 8 mm in diameter was evaluated. ► E. tenella oocysts and Heterakis gallinarum eggs in tubes could be collected at a ratio of 2.00 to 3.08. ► Our results may implicate the application for the estimated OPG/ EPG of the samples as a simple and time saving method.
