Abstract: The present study reports the mixed infection of blood protozoan Haemoproteus sp., intestinal protozoan Eimeria sp., and ectoparasite Colpocephalum tausi lice based on standard morphological keys in an Indian peafowl from Cauvery delta region of Tamil Nadu, India. Multiple parasitic infections need to be addressed in captive and free-ranging peafowls to maintain the ecological sustainability.
