International Journal of Biology Sciences · 2026 · Vol. 8(1) · pp. 09–11
Abstract
The case report deals with the detection of Raillietina spp. in Indian Peafowl (Pavo cristatus). The tapeworm was identified during a necropsy of a peafowl presented to the Wildlife Research & Training Centre, Gorewada, Nagpur. The intestinal contents were subjected to the saturated salt flotation technique, leading to the detection of coccidian oocysts and Raillietinan eggs. The tapeworm was studied by microscopy and identified. The finding has value in captive and free-range management of birds.
