ECTOPARASITES OF WATER-FOWL IN PRIVATE HOUSEHOLDS
Abstract
The article presents the data of species and quantitative composition of the population of temporary ectoparasites identified as a result of parasitological and ecological and epidemiological survey of poultry farms with breeding waterfowl (ducks, geese). As a consequence of the complex aсaroenhtomogic studies have shown the presence of the surveyed population of arthropods – pathogens permanent ectoparasites. In some farms, production facilities were contaminated with pathogens temporary ectoparasites, in particular, revealed a colony of red chicken mite Dermanyssus gallinae. Established specific composition selected akaroentomofauny. In the surveyed population was found parasitizing mallofag several species, dominant among which ducks was kind Trinoton guergueduiae, in geese – Anaticola crassicornis. Favorite places localization permanent ektoparazitovbyli cloacal region, back, bottom and side areas, at least – underwing area
