Seasonal Variation of Cestode Parasites from Economically Important Mammals

Abstract

Seasonal changes are cyclic and source of external variation influencing natural systems. Population investigation can provide data for the prediction of integrated method to achieve the regulation of number of harmful parasites .Seasonality is so ubiquitous in nature that identifying the relevant environmental drivers and parameters they influence become extremely difficult to completely understand many infectious disease systems it will become increasingly important to understand how seasonality affects multiple processes including host behavior, reproduction, immune function and parasite transmission and survival in the environment. The precise and accurate examination of parameters of cestode parasite population can be achieved by careful and extensive experimentation. So in the present paper attempt was made to study the seasonal variation of cestode parasites from mammal which includes application of statistical methods to understand the distribution and seasonal variation of cestode parasites in two annual cycles.The study indicates the incidence of infection in Capra hircus less in summer and risen considerable in winter season and reached its peak and then moderate in rainy season.
