Abstract
The study deals with the haematological parameters in Gallus gallus domesticus (Linnaeus, 1758) which is naturally infected with new species of cestode Parasite Cotugnia wankhedii Sp NOV. Blood samples were collected from Host Gallus gallus Domesticus. Out of 20 Gallus gallus domesticus , 16 are infected with cestode parasite. Total number of WBC, RBC, PCV, Hb, MCV, MCH, MCHC together with absolute count of differential leucocytes (Neutrophils, Monocytes, Eosinophils, Lymphocytes and Basophils) was determined. The significant increase in Number of WBC, however reduction in the count of RBC HB, PVC,MCH in infected Gallus gallus domesticus as compared with Normal.
