The article presents the information about a systematic review of parasitic worms – acanthocephalans of the domestic waterfowl. Based on our own and literature data, 12 acanthocephala species belonging to the 1 order, 1 family and 5 genera were identified in domestic ducks (Anas platyrhynchos dom.) and geese (Anser anser dom.). Three species of worms are found in domestic waterfowl in Azerbaijan. The acanthocephala Polymorphus magnus have been reported for the first time in Azerbaijan – Khachmaz region in both birds. Six species of acanthocephals parasitize only in anseriformes, and the remaining six species parasitize including other orders of birds (Ciconiiformes, Gruiformes, Galliformes, Podicipediformes, Gaviiformes, Falconiformes, Charadriiformes et al.) and even mammals (Rodentia, Carnivora). Of the registered acanthocephals, 3 species have a small area of distribution, and the remaining 9 species have a wide area. Each species is provided with the following data: scientific name, authority and year, synonyms, final, intermediate and auxiliary hosts, habitat in the bird body, collecting localities and geographic distribution, prevalence (PI) and intensity (II) of infection, literature sources.

Wild Mallard

Mallards and domestic ducks are conspecific. Relative adrenal weight is similar in newly hatched mallards and domestic ducks. Immature mallards have higher relative adrenal weights than domestic ducks of similar age. Adult female mallards also have higher relative adrenal weights and a higher proportion of cortex in the adrenal than adult female domestic ducks, but adult males of the two strains fail to show these differences.Adrenal weight is related to testicular weight in mallards and domestic ducks, but no correlation is evident between adrenal weight and weight of the ovary and oviduct in mallards. Mallards show no adrenal weight sex differences at any of the three ages sampled. A seasonal adrenal weight cycle is apparent in both sexes of the mallard with a weight increase related to the breeding season and another increase during the autumn and winter.The higher relative adrenal weights of (immature and adult female) mallards compared to those of domestic ducks are attributed to the mallards' greater exposure to stress. It is suggested that this effect operates also in adult male mallards but is obscured in the comparison with adult male domestic ducks because in the latter, which have much higher testicular weights, another factor responsible for the correlation between adrenal and testicular weight as noted above makes for increased adrenal weights.
