Abstract

Parasitic infection (both ecto – endo parasites) causes greater economic losses to Live Stock and Poultry. Young puppies suffered with Toxocara canis infection. Totally  32 numbers of puppies at the age group of 2-5 months showed symptomatic worm infestation with bot belly appearance and few of them showed adult ascaris worms in vomit and few of the showed unilateral nasal sneezing. Presence of worms in vomitus may be associated with their erratic movements, some round worms may enter in to stomach and may be vomited, some worms may enter the bile ducts and produce obstructive jaundice and cholangitis. Prenatal and trans mammary route of infection play a major role for transmission of infection.
