The lowest infection is recorded in rainy season and highest in summer season, may be due to life cycle stages and intermediate host availability increases in winter and became adult in definitive host in summer. No nematode and trematode parasite were considered and identified during the study period. Cysts were found deep in submucosa, although touches to serosa. The non-penetrative type of worms is Cotugnia sp. and Thaparea sp.; while the penetrative type of worm is Raillietina sp. and Paruterina sp. Free gravid segments mostly found in the posterior region of intestine while mature segments are freely suspended from scoleces in the lumen of intestine, only scoleces are attached, either superficially (non-penetrative type) or deep in submucosa (Penetrative type).
