Implication

Investigates gastrointestinal parasite prevalence in ruminants, indicating the need for tailored management in North Bengal.

Key Points

  • The study aims to investigate the prevalence and determinants of gastrointestinal parasites in domestic ruminants in North Bengal.
  • Surveyed 1406 cattle, goats, and sheep across three districts of North Bengal.
  • Analyzed parasitological data using descriptive statistics and inferential methods.
  • Assessed seasonal effects with Generalized Linear Mixed Models.
  • Explored host-parasite associations with Multiple Correspondence Analysis.
  • Overall gastrointestinal parasite prevalence was 69.4%, with cattle having the highest rate at 71.62%.
  • Monsoon and summer seasons showed significantly higher infection probabilities compared to winter.
  • Eimeria spp., Strongyloides spp., and Fasciola spp. were the predominant parasites identified.
  • Distinct host-parasite associations were identified, highlighting specific parasites linked to each ruminant species.
