Prevalence of other species like Gastrodiscus aegyptiacus (8.8%), Choanotaenia spp (1.6%), Enterobiasis (4.8%), Dictyocaulus arnfield (1.8%), Echinostoma spp (6.4%), Prothogonimus spp (0.8%), Habronema spp (1.6%) strongyloides papillosus (1.6) Trichostrongylus axei (0.8%), strongyloides westeri (0.8), E.bovis (3.2%), E.auburnesis (3.2%) were observed from study. It has been found that routine monitoring, proper management, implementation of preventive and control measures reduces maximum infectious parasitic disease in animals or humans.
