Abstract

The current study was conducted to determine the incidence and spectrum of gastrointestinal parasitic infections among captive wild animals housed in Bhagwan Birsa Biological Park, Ormanjhi, Ranchi, Jharkhand. Faecal samples were examined from a diverse range of species to identify the prevalence of helminths and protozoan parasites using direct and flotation methods. The findings indicate a measurable presence of parasitic infections in the zoo environment, predominantly Toxocara spp. and Taenia spp., with a noted correlation to felid species. This study underscores the importance of routine parasitological surveillance and tailored anthelmintic protocols to maintain animal health in captive settings. The study was conducted to know the incidence of gastrointestinal parasites of captive wild animals at Bhagwan Birsa Biological park Ormanjhi, Ranchi, Jharkhand.
