Suppressive anthelmintic treatment strategies originally designed to control Strongylus vulgaris in horses were extremely successful in reducing morbidity and mortality from parasitic disease. Unfortunately, this strategy has inadvertently resulted in the selection of drug-resistant cyathostomes (Cyathostominea), which are now considered the principal parasitic pathogens of horses. Resistance i...

OBJECTIVE To determine prevalence of anthelmintic resistance in cyathostome nematodes of horses in the southern United States. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. ANIMALS 786 horses on 44 farms and stables in Georgia, South Carolina, Florida, Kentucky, and Louisiana. PROCEDURE Fecal egg count (FEC) reduction tests were performed on 44 large farms and stables. Horses on each farm were treated wi...

attempts were made to present a practical key for identification of small strongyles, the identification ofwhich seems to be a difficult task to do. 4000 nematodes collected from the large intestine of horses anddonkeys were examined. 18 species of small strongyles of horse and 15 of donkey were found. from 6species of large strongyles found in both animals, we only dealt with 3 of triodontopho...

Introduction Although the scientific understanding of small strongyles as they affect horses is increasing, much still remains to be learned. The significance of the different life stages of small strongyles is poorly understood. Also poorly understood are the effects of the immunological status of the horse and the external environment on the pathogenicity of small strongyles. While there are ...

BACKGROUND As a consequence of the increasing levels of anthelmintic resistance in cyathostomes, new strategies for equine parasite control are being implemented. To assess the potential risks of these, the occurrence of strongyles was evaluated in a group of 1887 horses. The distribution of fecal egg counts (FECs), the frequency of anthelmintic drug use, and the deworming intervals were also a...

Strongylids are a group of worms that infect the digestive tract horses consisting Strongylus vulgaris, equinus, edentates and Cyathostomes. There is no reported prevalence data on infection in East Java. Study urgently needed because this worm one causes zoonotic diseases. This study aimed to identify morphologically. Identification using morphological methods. A total 65 horse faeces Java, i....

Terminology for common names for the Tribe Cyathostominea (cyathostomins), and disease caused by the nematodes (cyathostominosis), were recommended to replace the previously used names cyathostomes and cyathostomosis, which are ambiguous, inaccurate or synonymous, by the Third Internal Workshop on the Systematics of Cyathostominea of Horses, held in Stresa, Italy, 28 August 2001. The progress b...
