Intestinal Infestation of Turkey Poults with Plagiorchis (Multiglandularis) megalorchis Rees, 1952 and an Experimental Study of its Life-Cycle
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 June 2009
Extract
1. Heavy intestinal infestation with Plagiorchis (M.) megalorchis Rees, 1952, in four two-week old turkey poults is described. This was presumably the cause of death in the four poults and possibly of nine other birds of the same hatch.
2. The epizootiology of the condition is described.
3. The life-cycle of the parasite has been investigated, using turkey poults as the definitive host.
