Abstrakt: A two months old Aseel cross-bred chicken was presented with the history of emaciation and sudden death. Numerous live Ascaridia galli worms were seen in the gizzard, small intestine and caecum. Multiple raised white areas in the gizzard mucosa, diffuse pale areas in the liver and clogging of the intestine with worms were also noticed. Histopathological examination revealed verminous ventriculitis, inflammatory changes in the intestine and liver. Cut sections of the parasite were confined to the muscularis of the gizzard and small intestine. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
