Abstract
Post mortem examination of a five-and-a-half-year-old duck brought to the
Department of Veterinary Pathology by a nomadic farmer, revealed enteritis and presence
of three flukes in the trachea. The flukes were identified as Tracheophilus cymbius based
on absence of both oral and ventral suckers and other morphological features. The duck
had a history of greenish diarrhoea, fever, anorexia and mucoid discharge from eyes and
nostrils prior to death. This appears to be a first report of occurrence of T. cymbius in
ducks from Cauvery delta region of India.
