Worming Your Horse

چکیده
Small strongyles (‘small red worm’) are the most common and harmful intestinal worm of horses worldwide and account for 95% of faecal worm egg count burdens. The adult worms are small (1-2 cm long) and live in the horse’s large intestine (Fig. 1). The adult worms lay eggs which pass onto the pasture in the manure. Larvae (immature worm) hatch from the egg and cleverly migrate up blades of grass to ensure they get eaten by a horse. Once eaten, the larvae pass down through the digestive tract until they reach the large intestine. Once there, the larvae burrow into the wall of the gut (Fig. 2).

Previous data from Vietnam show that anaemia is highly prevalent among schoolchildren, who are considered not to be iron deficient. Trichuris infection doubled the risk of anaemia. The present study aimed to evaluate the hypothesis that de-worming is more effective than iron fortification in an anaemic, infection-prone population. In a trial with a 2 x 2 factorial design, 425 anaemic children a...
