Giemsa color slides and then stained slides with an optical microscope lens 100 and H. columbae were evaluated in terms of infection, with the results of this study, the prevalence of pigeons H. Columbae in Zabol (56/7 % ) , Nimroz (43/3 % ) , Hirmand ( 60 % ) and Zahak (63/3 % ) and Backyard Chickens were set equal to zero.
