A total of 156 intestinal tracts of baladi chickens were collected from different villages in Aswan Governorate .The present study revealed that out of 156 Baladi chickens (76/156; 50.6%) were infected with intestinal helminths. Seven species of helminths were recovered. The recovered helminths were identified as cestodes (34.6%), nematodes (23.7%) and no trematodes were recorded. Mixed infection were estimated in (11/156; 7%). Four cestodal species were detected in chickens. Raillietina.tetragona was the most prevalent species (16%) followed by Raillietinaechinobothrida (10.9%), Cotugnia digonopora  (6.4%)  and Raillietinacesticillus which was the least common tapeworm (1.3%). It has been found that Raillietinatetragona had the highest intensity among recovered helminths and Raillietinacesticillus had the lowest one. Nematodes were identified in (23.7%) chickens. The most prevalent species were Heterakisgallinae, Ascaridia. galli and Subulura. brumpti with prevalences of (15.4%), (9%) and (1.3%) respectively. It has been found that Heterakis. gallinae had the highest intensity among recovered helminths and Subulura.brumpti had the lowest one. It has been found that the highest prevalence of worm infection was in Summer and Spring, Meanwhile, the lowest infection recorded in Autumn and Winter.
