- Abstract
A total of 216 oesophagi samples were examined parasitologically and pathologically for gongylonemiasis in sheep. Results of our study showed that the occurrence of G. pulchrum in sheep was 8.7 per cent. No gross lesions was noticed in the infected oesophagi but histopathological observations revealed the presence of parasites in the oesophageal epithelium causing moderate to severe eosinophilic oesophagitis in a few cases. Parasitological, gross and microscopic findings revealed gongylonema infection common in sheep.
