| Abstract | ||||
| Pseudoporrorchis indicus (DAS, 1957) was recorded for the first time infesting the Egyptian birds. Its immature and adult forms were collect ed from the small intestine of Centropus senegalenses aegyptius hunted from edfina, Bahera Province, Egypt. The general prevalence of infect ion with that parasite was about 80.8%. Full description of that Acanthocephala was given together with complete differentiation from other related species of that genus. The pathological efects caused by that parasite were also investigated. Trials to find out the proper intermediate hosts succeeded to demonstrate its larval stages in the body cavity of a small reptile (Chamaelion species). | ||||
