The present study deals with the preliminary survey of cestode parasites collected from the intestine of Capra hircus at different collection sites of Osmanabad district (M.S.) India during June, 2015 to May, 2016. The seasonal variation of gastro-intestinal helminthic infection shows the higher prevalence occurs in Winter (72.50%) followed by Summer (43.75%) and Monsoon (22.50%) because of easy dispersal of larvae in pasture resulting is increased in contact with the host and the parasites. Among the Cestode parasites found the maximum incidence occurs is of Moniezia sp. in all seasons (27.91%) followed by Stilesia sp. (11.66%) and Avitellina sp. (6.66%) respectively. Results of present study clearly indicate that environmental factors and feeding habitat are influence the seasonality of parasitic infection either directly or indirectly.
