摘要

Mithun (Bos frontalis) plays a vital role in both the cultural and agricultural life of tribal communities in India’s North-Eastern Hill (NEH) region. The diverse topography and climate of this area expose these animals to various parasitic infestations, which can significantly impact their meat and milk production. This review synthesizes current knowledge of helminth, protozoal, and ectoparasite infections in mithun, examining their epidemiology and distribution patterns. We evaluate recent advances in diagnostic techniques while highlighting critical research gaps and future priorities for parasite management strategies.
