Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The article presents the results of studies of 460 camel heads in the conditions of peasant farms of different forms of ownership in the Kyzylorda and Mangystau regions. Animals in all farms were infested with Trichostrongylidae spp. with an invasion intensity (II) of 400 ± 66 eggs per g of feces, in the study of the gastrointestinal tract, by the method of incomplete helminthological dissection according to K.I. Scriabin discovered sexually mature helminths Trichostrongylidae spp. with extensiveness of invasion (EI) 47.6% with IS 27-94 ind. Camels were also infected with Eimeria spp. with a low EI of 26.9% and an EI of 350±56 oocysts/g. Extensiveness of Fasciola spp. invasion in the Kyzylorda region in the study of the liver and bile ducts was 14.3% and AI 4-20 ind. The infestation of camels with parasitiform mites of the Ixodidae family and the Argasidae family reached 58.7% with AI 1-83 ind. and 5.5% with AI 1-15 copies. respectively. The average EI of Microthoracius cameli was 56.1% and EI 3-76 ind. In addition, lesions of wolfarthiosis were found with EI 22.7% with IS 2-300 ind. In the Mangistau region, during post-mortem diagnostics of camels, larvae of Cephalopina titillator were found with an EI of 33.3 and an SI of 4-9 specimens. A high degree of invasion by parasites requires the development of effective preventive measures to eradicate endo and ectoparasites in camels.
