"Gapes" Is q disease well known 10
most growers of poultry, and often des-
troys whole broods of young chickA
The disease is caused by a very slender,
thread-like, reddish nematoid worm,
scientifically known as syngamus ira
chealis. This worm is characterized by
the permanent union of the paired
sexes. and cannot be parted without
rupturing the bodies. The female
greatly exceeds the male in size.
The matured worms are found only
in the wind-pipe Of fowls to which they
cling leech-like on the walls, sucking
the blood of the parts, The female of
each pair produces 1900 to 5000 eggs
she dies. They are then loosed by the
decay of the parent body, and if they
remain within the wind-pipe Of the
fowl the young worms emerge from the
shell in a few days, and in few days
are mature couples and begin to repro
duce eggs. The Matching of the egg
occurs only when it is kept constantly
moist and at temperature Of about SO
degrees F. The sexes never pair ex-
cept in the wind-pipe of fowl. If ths
temperature is below 90 degrees F. the
eggs will not hatch, but will retain
their vitality for year or more, pro-
vided they are kept moist, hence con-
tagious gapes is a wet land disease.
When the affected fowl gapes and
coughs for breath some of the worms
with their eggs are elected into the
water troughs where the fowls fire.
quently congregate, evidently trying
to allay the inf1amma ton in the wind
pipe by drinking copiously. The
elected worms or eggs are greedily
eaten by other fowls present, or the
water containing them is drunk, thus
spreading the disease, and in large
focks producing 9 veritable epidemic,
