New methods in parasitology exploration of doves

Abstract

Parasitology study  of doves  was made in the period from April 2015 till April 2016 in Pavlodar city. Probes for exploration were taken in the places of numerous dove aggregations such are: on the square near the theater, from the attics of town private houses and in the Park named after Afghanistan soldiers. Excrement probes were delivered to the General Biology Department at Pavlodar State Pedagogical Institute and explored in a special parasitology laboratory. In general,  we have studied 186 probes of excrements and remains of doves’ feathers.

As a result, allocated protozoa of the genus Eimeria of  Eimeria labeana species  and ticks of the genus Epidermoptes, Epidermoptes bilobatus species have been  discovered .

The author compares traditional coprology explorations and her own innovative methods and substantiates  advantages of  innovative methods.

Thus,    In 65 samples there were allocated 18.4% parasites tested by traditional methods (Fyulleborna, Darling and Schulman), while in the samples investigated innovative techniques we found out  24.6% of parasites in the park in front of the city theater . Among pigeons in the private  city sector 32 samples were examined in the traditional way, and  43.7%, by  the  innovative methods.  In the Afghan park city of Pavlodar, 89 samples were taken, among them   25.8% of parasites were extracted by the traditional method while 34.8% of parasites with  the new method.

     We have used car cooling liquid (tosol) with salt (sodium chloride) and sugar and the same mixtures with anti-freeze as the new flotation and conserving substances of solutions.
