Abstract
Thirteen adult indigenous chickens from Oodi, Kgatleng district, Botswana, were examined for helminth parasites. Two species of nematodes, Ascaridia g alli and Heterakis gallinarum, and species of the cestode genus Raillietina , were recovered. A. galli and H. gallinarum were the most commonly seen pa rasites. The nematode A. galli occurred concurrently with Raillietina spp.
