Ascaridia can be diagnosed by the above clinical, faecal examination or by post-mortem (PM). Evidence of enteritis/haemorrhagic enteritis can be seen on PM; as large numbers of larvae in the histotropic phase can cause extensive damage to the glandular epithelium. Adhesion of the mucosal villi can also be noted as a result of the proliferation of mucous-secretory cells.

*Post-mortem (PM)- evidence of enteritis/haemorrhagic enteritis, extensive damage to the glandular epithelium, adhesion of the mucosal villi and pressure atrophy from adult worms.

Adult worms can also cause damage to the epithelia as a result of pressure atrophy of the villi, causing occasional necrosis of the mucosal layer. In chronic infections the intestinal wall can become distended as muscle tone is lost.

*Free range systems, young birds can be iolated and put onto ground previously unused by poultry
 +
*Rotation of poultry runs
 +
*Raised feeding and watering stations - reducing faecal-oral transmission
