Journal Title: Journal of Coastal Life Medicine - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
The parasitic infection of houbara bustard (Chlamydotis undulate) in north of Iran, Golestan Province was reported in this study. The carcass of a male houbara bustard about 2 years old with 2.5 kg body weight, was forfeited from impermissible hunters by the Department of Environment in Gorgan, Golestan Province during January 2015. The gastrointestinal tracts was dissected and examined for helminth infection. Species of Nematoda, Cestoda and Acanthocephala were found which were as following: Hartertia obesa, Idiogenes otidis, Mediorhynchus taeniatus, respectively from small intestine. Based on the results obtained from the present study, it can be concluded that Chlamydotis undulata may play an important role in the transmission of the mentioned parasites. In addition, this is the first report of Hartertia obesa, Idiogenes otidis, Mediorhynchus taeniatus in Iran.
