Abstract
The gastrointestinal helminths are known to have high potential for transmission through feco-oral route and may transmit from livestock to wild ungulates with an impact on their health and reproduction. We lack studies on prevalence of gastrointestinal helminth parasites in domestic livestocksharing habitat with wild ungulates of Hirpora Wildlife Sanctuary. As the domestic sheep and goat constitute more than 90% of livestock population, we therefore, collected faecal samples of domestic sheep (n= 281) and goat (n= 226) in the sanctuary from June to October of two consecutive years (2018 and 2019) for qualitative examination of gastrointestinal helminth parasites by centrifugal sedimentation and floatation methods. The present study reveals theprevalence of 77.22% and 72.12% of gastrointestinal helminth parasites in domestic sheep and goat respectively with an overall prevalence of 74.67%. A total of seven species of gastrointestinal helminth parasites were recorded which are arranged in the descending order of their overall prevalence as Haemonchus contortus (60.93%), Trichuris ovis (52.68%), Nematodirus sp.(40.82%), Trichostrongylus axei (39.89%), Moniezia expensa (34.96%), Strongyloides papillosus (33.63%) and Fasciola hepatica (31.51%).
