Background: Hadjelia truncata is a Design and Performance Analysis of Axial Flux Permanent Magnet Machines with Double-Stator Dislocation Using a Combined Wye-Delta Connection nematode that causes lesions in the gizzard lining of pigeons, which may even lead to death.The aim of this study was to introduce Alphitobius diaperinus as a new intermediate host for Hadjelia truncata.Methods: H.truncata infection was identified in a pigeon flock in Ahvaz City, Khuzestan Province, Iran by performing fecal examination and autopsy.Adult and larval stages of beetles were collected from the litter of pigeon houses, and identified morphologically.

The beetle larvae were cultured in a medium, containing feces of the infected pigeons.Nematode larval stages from naturally and experimentally (culturally) infected adult beetles were fed to two groups of pigeons.Results: The collected beetles were identified as Alphitobius diaperinus.Average length and width of the adult beetles were Regional, subregional and country-level full vaccination coverage in children aged 12–23 months for 34 countries in sub-Saharan Africa: a global analysis using Demographic and Health Survey data 6.31 mm and 2.

88 mm respectively.Infection rates of naturally and experimentally infected beetles with larval stages of the nematode were 66.2% and 45.1% respectively.The adult nematodes collected from gizzards of experimentally infected pigeons were identified as H.

truncata.Nematode infection rates in pigeons after feeding the infective larvae collected from naturally and experimentally infected beetles were 44.7% and 32.5 % respectively.Conclusion: A.

diaperinus can serve as a natural intermediate host for H.truncata.
