Abstract
On post-mortem examination of five desi chickens, cherry red coloured spindle
shaped worms were collected from the proventriculus of each bird for identification. Based
on the morphological examination, these worms were identified as Tetrameres mohtedai. A
high prevalence of Tetrameres mohtedai helminth infection was documented in desi chickens
in Cauvery delta region of Tamil Nadu, which causes high morbidity and mortality in desi
chickens from Cauvery delta region of Tamil Nadu. Appropriate deworming strategies need
to be followed in desi chicken for the control of parasite in this region.
