Abstract
Haemoparasitism is a great menace to the health, productivity, reproductivity, and workability of animals and humans. This study was designed to determine the diversity, prevalence, and risk factors associated with the occurrence of haemoparasitic infections in chickens and guineafowls in Kwara Central, Nigeria. Blood samples were collected from 345 birds (326 chickens and 19 guineafowls). The wet mount and thin blood smear techniques were used to detect blood parasites. Data obtained were subjected to statistical analysis using proportions (prevalence) and Univariate analysis (Chi-square (χ2)). Statistically significance was set when P was
