              Abstract 
 
                A total of 2288 
                faecal samples collected from dairy animal of central zone of 
                vidarbha region (Maharashtra) from July 2002 to June 2003 
                revealed 62.98% prevalence of helminthic infection. Paramphistomum 
                sp. were 
                predominant (12.28%) fallowed by Toxocara (10.97%). 
                The percentage prevalence of monezia 
                strongyloides , Haemonchrus, Fasciola Schistosoma, Trichuris, 
                Oesophagostmum and Trichostongylus species 
                were 8.96%, 6.99%,5.98%,3.81%,1.87%,1.00%, 0.96% respectively. 
                The overall prevalence of nematode, trematode, cestode and mixed 
                type of helminth infection was 41.63, 11.11 0.98 and 46.28 
                percent respectively. The helminth infection was most common 
                encountered during and after rainy seasons. The infected animals 
                showed significant reduction in Hb, PCV,TLC,TEC, neutrophils 
                while lymphocytes and monocytes count did not significant.
