The aim of the present study is to determine the prevalence of bovine gastrointestinal parasitic infections in three states of northeast India bordering Myanmar and Bangladesh. Cattle faecal samples (n=220) were collected from three states of northeast India, viz. Champhai district of Mizoram international bordering to Myanmar, East Khasi Hills district of Meghalaya and Dhalai district of Tripura bordering to Bangladesh. Faecal samples were examined by centrifugal floatation and sedimentation method. Descriptive statistical analysis was carried out to determine the prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites. The prevalence of gastrointestinal helminths and protozoa varies in different states of the present study. Samples collected from Tripura and Meghalaya showed that all the adult animals were infected with amphistomes p.; since, the areas are favourable for propagation of snail intermediate host; considerable number (45.4 % in Meghalaya and 17 % in Tripura) were also infected with Fasciola sp. Samples collected from Champhai district, Myanmar bordering area of Mizoram, being hilly with no water logging, the occurrence of trematode infection was not found in the present study but the animals were found to be infected with strongyle sp. parasites (52.9 % and 56.7 % in young and adult animals, respectively).
