Poultry parasite eggs persist long in soil and birds
The report notes that eggs of Ascaridia dissimilis and A galli remained infective for up to 161 weeks, Capillaria obsignata up to 102 weeks, and Syngamus trachea up to 31 weeks. It also mentions Histomonas as the head disease agent detected as late as the 15th week, with blackhead observed within a few days, all tied to cecal worm egg presence.
