Feather mites (Acariformes, Astigmata) are a large group of species in which mites of the genus Proctophyllodes Robin, 1868. Analgoidea are among the most common parasites of passerines. These mites are permanent obligate ectoparasites localized on the flight feathers, greater wing coverts, and on the tail. Most species of feather mites are characterized by high host specificity. The taxonomy and fauna of feather mites of the genus Proctophyllodes, and their morphological identification characters in different countries of the world are still a matter of research. The aim of our work was to describe the morphological features and metric parameters of feather mites of the species P. musicus Vitzthum, 1922, isolated from the common blackbird Turdus merula Linnaeus, 1758 in Ukraine. 32 parameters are determined in males and females of P.musicus mites, which characterize both their general structure of the body and sexual dimorphism. The structure and sizes of the body, gnathosoma, idiosoma, prodorsal and hysteronotal shields, epimerites I, setae cp and c3, and the distance between setae of the scapula se–se and si–si are described. In males, the sizes of adanal sucker discs, epigastric shields, genital arch, setae ps2, h3, h2, the distance between setae 4a–4a, g–g, ps3–ps3, ps1–ps1 are additionally described and determined. Lamellae in males are wide, tongueshaped, do not overlap. The aedeagus is short, slightly extending beyond the posterior margin of the genital arch. In female mites, the dimensions of the lobar shield, terminal appendages, and terminal recess are additionally described and determined, taking into account the location of setae ps1, h2, the dimensions of setae cp, c3, h3, h2, the distance between setae h1–h1, the distance between hysteronotal and lobar shields. The mite eggs were measured in the body of the female and on the feathers of the birds. The scientific data obtained in this study expand the already existing data on morphological and metric characters of feather mites of the species P. musicus(Proctophyllodidae) isolated from the common blackbird

O.; Киричко, Олена Борисівна; Kyrychko, O. B.; Дмитренко, Надія Іванівна; Dmytrenko, N. I.; Сизоненко, Наталія Миколаївна; Syzonenko, N. M.; Опара, Надія Миколаївна; Opara, N. M.
Dirofi lariasis is a zoonotic disease of domestic and wild carnivorous animals and humans. Subcutaneous migration of the parasite Dirofi laria repens Railliet & Henry, 1911 can lead to the local swellings with changeable localization. In humans, this parasite can cause the damage of lungs, male genitalia, and eyes. Th e range of D. repens is constantly spreading to new areas, and, considering the zoonotic potential of this parasite, it is important to widen the existing data concerning the morphology of D. repens. Present study provides the morphometric description of nematodes D. repens, obtained from subcutaneous tissue of dogs in Ukraine. Th e aim of this study was to make an accent on the key features for performing the identifi cation of parasites of this species. For males, 27 morphometric traits were identifi ed, characterising the total size of the body and the esophagus, the thickness of the cuticle in the region of the mouth opening, the localisation of the nerve ring and the cloaca, the morphological structure and metric parameters of the spicules, and the length of the tail. For females, 18 morphometric traits were identifi ed that, in addition to the common parameters, characterise cuticle thickness in the region of the vulva, localisation of the vulva and anus, body width in the regions of the anus and vulva, and tail length. Th is report widens the existing data on the morphological and metric characteristics of nematodes D. repens

Effect of Dermanyssus gallinae on zootechnical and productive indicators of farming chicken.
(2024) Yevstafieva, V. O.; Євстаф’єва, Валентина Олександрівна; Петруненко А. П.
Results of the study of the impact of ticks on the productive indicators of industrial poultry farming in Ukraine are presented in the article. The spread of parasites that attack poultry leads to significant losses in the poultry industry. Modern technologies of poultry farming create favourable conditions for the rapid spread of dermanisiosis in chickens. Dermanyssus gallinae ticks are among the most dangerous blood-sucking ectoparasites, in addition, they are carriers of dangerous bird infections pathogens. The goal of the work was to establish the effect of D. gallinae parasitism on zootechnical indicators of chickens. The research was carried out on the premicies of the "Poultry Farms of Poltava region" farm in the Poltava district of the Poltava region with the support of the laboratory of parasitology of the Poltava State Agrarian University (Poltava). The results of present study established detrimental impact of D. gallinae parasitism on zootechnical indicators of chickens (total number of birds, survival rate, live weight, livestock losses) during the poultry farming. In particular, under the conditions of contamination of the poultry house, the birds were dying before the age of 59 weeks, and the live weight of chickens with D. gallinae ectoparasites was 32.1% lower during this period compared to the clinically healthy birds. In clinically healthy chickens, live weight gradually increased from 1.4 to 2.2 kg from 15 weeks to 34 weeks. While in birds contaminated with ectoparasites, the weight increased from 1.3 to 1.9 kg during the same period, but gradually decreased from the 34th week to 1.4 kg at the 58th week. The survival rate of tick-contaminated chickens during the experiment decreased to 24.9% (over a period of 58 weeks) and was 73.9% lower than that of clinically healthy chickens aged 58 weeks. It was established that the death rate of chickens under the conditions of D. gallinae tick parasitism was 75.0%, which is 7.2 times higher than that of clinically healthy chickens. The data we obtained prove the relevance of research and development of means of solving the problem of chicken dermanisiosis in Ukraine, given the significant negative impact of ectoparasites D. gallinae on the live weight of chickens, the period of their breeding, and the indicators of their survival rates

The prevention of the trichurosis of sheep requires understanding the terms of development of pathogens and their survival in the environment under the influence of abiotic factors. This study was conducted to determine the tolerance to a temperature factor of Trichuris skrjabini nematode eggs isolated from sheep. Trichuris eggs were obtained from the gonads of female nematodes in laboratory conditions and cultivated in a thermostat until the appearance of motile larvae in the eggs at the temperatures of 20°C, 25°C, and 30°C. It was determined that the time of formation of infectious eggs decreases with increasing temperature. The temperature of 25°С was found to be the most favorable for the development of T. skrjabini eggs in laboratory conditions, and 80.3% of eggs with motile larvae formed on the 54th day. Temperatures of 20°С and 30°С were less advantageous to the process of embryogenesis. The motile larvae develop in eggs in 63 days at 20°С and in 45 days at 30°С, and their respective survival rates are 77.0% and 75.3%. The obtained data increase the effectiveness of planning measures to prevent the trichurosis of sheep, taking into account the period of development of the pathogen depending on the temperature of the environment

Helminthes of Passalurus ambiguus species are one of the most common parasites of the intestinal tract of domestic rabbits both on industrial rabbit farms and private farms. The most effective way to treat and prevent passalurosis in animals at present is the use of anti-helminthic preparations, where determining the degree of their anti-parasitic effect is a topical direction of research. This will make it possible to raise the effectiveness of maintaining well-being on rabbit farms and the animals’ timely recovery from this infestation. The purpose of the study was to establish the effectiveness of treatment measures for rabbit passalurosis. The research was carried out on a private farm that was unfavorable as to passalurosis and on the basis of the Laboratory of Parasitology of Poltava State Agrarian University. The therapeutic efficacy of Brovermectin 1 % solution (the active substance is ivermectin), Brovalzen powder (the active substance is albendazole), Albendazole 7.5 % suspension (the active substance is albendazole) was tested in case of rabbit spontaneous passalurosis. It was established that on the 7th day of treatment, the indicators of extense-effectiveness and intense-effectiveness were, respectively: of Brovermectin 1 % – 50.0 and 64.31 %, Brovalzen powder – 70.0 and 82.63 %, Albendazole 7.5 % suspension – 60.0 and 60.9 %. On the 14th day of treatment, Brovalzen powder and Albendazole 7.5 % suspension turned out the most effective preparations for rabbit passalurosis, where the indicators of their extense-effectiveness and intenseeffectiveness reached 100.0 %. A lower therapeutic effectiveness was registered when using Brovermectin 1 % solution, which was injected to diseased animals. Its extense-effectiveness and intense-effectiveness made 60.0 and 80.9 %, respectively. Moreover, the indicators of the intensity of passalurous invasion on the 7th and 14th day of treatment were at the level of 4.20±1.27 and 2.50±0.75 eggs, and the indicators of the prevalence of passalurous infection were 50.0 and 40.0 %, respectively. The obtained results of experimental studies allow recommend antihelminthic oral preparations of domestic production Brovalzen powder and Albendazole 7.5 % suspension for effective treatment and prevention of rabbit passalurosis

(2023) Євстаф’єва, Валентина Олександрівна; Омельченко, О. В.; Yevstafieva, V. O.; Omelchenko O. V.
Poultry breeding is one of the most promising branches of agriculture. Serious losses to this industry are caused by invasion diseases, including chicken heterakosis, which is widespread throughout the world. Heterakises cause pathological changes in the caecum, where various forms of typhlitises and enterohepatitises develop, and at high prevalence of infection, especially in young animals, lead to their death. The causative agent of the disease, Heterakis gallinarum nematode, is a parasitic organism environmentally adapted to the climatic conditions of many geographical zones, which contributes to its wide spreading. The purpose of the research was to investigate chicken heterakosis spreading based on the results of analyzing the reporting documentation of the State Food and Consumer Service in Poltava region during 2018–2023. The conducted monitoring studies have established that in the conditions of the investigated region, the share of heterakosis among contagious poultry diseases makes 7.62 %. Infective poultry diseases account for 8.57 %. At the same time, the share of invasion diseases among poultry virulent pathology reaches 83.81 %. The share of heterakosis among poultry invasion diseases was at the level of 8.33 %, where the share of protozoases was the largest (67.71 %). Nematodoses accounted for a smaller share (18.75 %). Cestodiases were most rarely detected in poultry (5.21 %). Among the protozoan, nematodous and cestodous poultry diseases on the territory of Poltava region, eimeriosis made the largest percentage (67.71 %). Among nematodoses, the share of ascariasis was 16.67 %, capillariasis – 2.08 %. Among cestodoses, drepanidoteniosis was detected, the share of which made 5.21 %. Analyzing the indicators of the prevalence of heterakosis infection found on the territory of poultry farms in Poltava region, it was found that chickens’ infestation rate with heterakosis pathogen ranged from 0.06 to 0.19 % with an average value of 0.1 %. The highest indicators of the prevalence of heterakosis infection were detected in 2019–0.19 %. During 2020–2022, the infestation rates of poultry with heterakises gradually decreased from 0.12 to 0.06 %. The results of monitoring studies point to the relevance of further investigating the epizootological peculiarities of chicken heterakosis on the territory of certain regions of Ukraine

Providing veterinary care against parasitic diseases is one of the factors that affect the possibility of effective and profitable introduction of the livestock sector. Chorioptic mange is one of the globally spread invasive diseases of cattle caused by persistent ectoparasites. The diagnosis of chorioptosis is based on the microscopic detection of mites in scrapings from the skin of the affected animal with mandatory identification of the parasites. The aim of the research was to investigate the morphological features and metric parameters of Chorioptesmites isolated from cattle. Mites isolated from cattle were morphometrically identified as Chorioptestexanus. Morphological features of male Ch. texanus mites include peculiarities in the structure of the opisthosomal lobes and of the setae located on the opisthosomal lobes, opisthosoma and tarsus of leg III. 14 morphometric parameters characterizing the general structure of the body (length, width and their ratio, length and width of the gnathosoma, length of the idiosoma, proterosoma, podosoma, propodosoma, metapodosoma, hysterosoma, opisthosoma, length and width of the propodosomal shield) were identified and suggested for use in identification of male and female Ch. texanus. In male mites of this species, 5 additional parameters were also determined, which describe the length and width of the opisthomal lobes, their ratio, the diameter of the adanal suckers and the distance between them. The morphological features, location and length of 6 setae, which are species-specific in Chorioptes mites, namely 4 setae of the opisthosomal lobe, 1 opisthosomal seta, 1 ventral seta of tarsus III, were described. The parameters of Ch.texanus eggs in the bodies of female mites and on the body of the host animal were determined. The scientific data obtained in this study expand the already existing data on the differential identification of Ch. texanus mites and proves their parasitism in cattle on the territory of Ukraine

With babesiosis in dogs, the capillary network is especially strongly affected due to the stimulation of the hemostasis system and the development of thrombus formation in the microvasculature. Acute renal failure and even death of animals are caused by shock phenomena and the syndrome of disseminated intravascular coagulation. Clinical, laboratory (hematological, biochemical, coagulometric, hemodynamic, enzyme immunoassay) methods of research were conducted. Dogs with babesiosis have fever, anemia, and hemoglobinuria, hematologically established anemia, systemic inflammation, thrombotic condition. Hemodynamic parameters determine the state of shock, which in dynamics becomes decompensated and irreversible. The appearance of poikilocytes in the blood of sick dogs indicates significant metabolic disorders in their body. The coagulogram reveals the syndrome of disseminated intravascular coagulation. Syndrome markers significantly changed with a trend to increase during nephropathy. In addition, uremia, hyperuricemia, hyperkalemia, hyponatremia, hyperphosphatemia, creatininemia were found in the sick dogs, which are reliable indicators and determine the development of an acute form of glomerulonephritis and progressive acute renal failure. According to the study of the general biochemical status in animals, hepatopathy in the form of acute hepatitis and pancreatitis, and general intoxication syndrome were established. In our findings: during acute spontaneous babesiosis, dogs developed nephropathy, which has two clinical stages: hemoglobinuria and oliguria/anuria. The pathogenetic basis for the development of glomerulonephritis and acute renal failure is the syndrome of disseminated intravascular coagulation in response to the influence of a pathogen, which causes shock, forming a vicious circle of shock. Under such conditions, renal failure increases and eventually leads to the death of the animal. The studied data will contribute to the expansion of the conceptual understanding of the pathogenesis of canine babesiosis and determine the leading role of complications in the development of kidney failure.
