Abstract
Histomoniasis or ''Blackhead disease'' caused by Histomonas meleagridi s, occurs in a variety of gallinaceous birds. Occurrence of histomonia sis in chicken and turkeys is reported globally (Reid, 1967; Lund, 196 9; Gallazia et al., 1988; Zajicek and Chroust, 1988) but the disease i s not common in India (Kalia, 1958; Singh and Moore, 1972). This repor t puts on record an acute outbreak of histomoniasis in wild partridges reared by using a domestic hen as faster mother.
