In the present study, five helminth parasite species from two taxonomic groups were identified from Long-Evans (Rattus norvegicus Berkenhout, 1769). The cestodes were Vampirolepis nana Siebold, Hymenolepis diminuta Rud and nematodes were Citellina dispar Prendel, Heterakis spumosa Schneider and Syphacia muris Yamaguti. C. dispar is a new finding in Bangladesh. The highest prevalence of H. diminuta was recorded but the highest intensity was recorded in V. nana. The prevalence and intensity of V. nana was 56.25% and 65.11±13.23; H. dimisnuta was 72.92% and 4.37±0.89; C. dispar was 62.50% and 19.63 ±2.10; H. spumosa was 66.67% and 9.06±1.85; and S. muris was 64.58% and 24.65±2.60 respectively. Differences in prevalence and intensity due to sexes and seasons were also evaluated. Key words: Cestodes, Nematodes, Helminth, Prevalence, Intensity.     doi: 10.3329/bjsir.v44i1.2718 Bangladesh J.

Endoparasitic infection and histopathological effects in the laboratory rat, Long-Evans (Rattus norvegicus Berkenhout 1769) was evaluated. Five species of helminth parasites from two taxonomic groups were identified. They were -Cestodes (Vampirolepis nana Siebold, 1852 and Hymenolepis diminuta Rudolphi, 1819) and Nematodes (Citellina dispar Prendel, 1928; Heterakis spumosa Schneider, 1866 and Syphacia muris Yamaguti, 1941). All the worms were collected from the alimentary tract of the Long-Evans. The prevalence of infection was found highest in caecum (95.83%) and the intensity of infestation was found highest in anterior parts of the intestine (51.33±10.63). The histopathological study of helminth infected alimentary canal showed that the intestinal wall was severely damaged. Key words: Nematodes, Cestodes, Prevalence, Vampirolepis nana, Hymenolepis diminuta, Citellina dispar, Heterakis spumosa and Syphacia muris. DOI: 10.3329/bjsir.v44i2.3673 Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind.

Comparative efficacy of Albendazole, Mebendazole and neem leaf extract (Azadirachta indica) against Vampirolepis nana, Hymenolepis diminuta and Syphacia muris infections in laboratory rat strain Long-Evans (Rattus norvegicus Berkenhout, 1769) was evaluated. After treating with the drugs, egg reduction rate and cure rate from the worm infection were observed. Mebendazole had greater efficacy in terms of cure rate against H. diminuta, but in terms of egg reduction rate in H. diminuta infection, Albendazole had greater efficacy. The relative efficacy of Albendazole and Mebendazole were similar in terms of cure rate for S. muris infection (33.33%). In case of H. diminuta, both Albendazole and Mebendazole had nearly similar efficacy in terms of cure rate (20% vs. 25%). Albendazole had greater efficacy in terms of cure rate and egg reduction rate against V. nana than Mebendazole (25% vs. 16.67% and 28.57% vs. 10%). In case of S. muris infection, Mebendazole showed the higher egg reduction rate than Albendazole (20.09% vs 14.52%). Neem leaf extract had better efficacy on egg reduction rate in case of S. muris infection than Albendazole and Mebendazole. The relative efficacy of the neem extract was higher than that of the administred chemotherapy.Key words: Long-Evans; Rattus norvegicus; Comparative; Efficacy; Albendazole; Mebendazole; Neem leaf extractDOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/dujbs.v20i1.8836Dhaka Univ.
