worm
Helminths are a general term for internal parasites such ascariasis, tapeworm disease and capillary worms. There are 2 types of worms, nematodes with roundworms and capillaries, and a pyridocyctic worm that parasitizes in the pigeon's trachea, mainly tapeworms in flatworms.
The young birds have no resistance to worms and are particularly susceptible. The old birds have a little immunity and do not show symptoms even with insects. These persistent pigeons with worms are a potential source of infection for young birds.
<h1>Primary symptoms</h1>
Anemia, increased drinking water, rapid sales, stunted growth and low energy for young birds. The disease is particularly dangerous for young pigeons, which can lead to the death of young birds, and worms can also eliminate toxins, which is affected by the development of the body.
Worms can reproduce directly or indirectly. Direct propagation means that after sexual maturity, the eggs that are excreted into the surrounding environment with feces are directly swallowed by the pigeons and infected. Indirect reproduction is when the eggs first enter an intermediate host and develop into larvae in it, where the pigeons eat the host and the larvae grow into mature worms in the pigeons. Helminthiasis does not present symptoms for a long time, but is not asymptomatic.
