Diversidade das infracomunidades de estrongilídeos do cólon dorsal de Equus caballus do estado do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil

Endoparasites of horses from the Formiga city, located in center-west region of the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil

“…In Brazil, Souto Maior et al (1999) and Martins et al (2001) also found divergent results regarding the occurrence rate of this parasite: 12.1% and 36.7%, respectively. These data coincide with a study conducted by Rodrigues et al (2000) in the state of Rio de Janeiro, in which S. equi was not found in any of the horses used in the research.…”

“…Nematodes of the species Triodontophorus serratus were found in 56% of the horses, thus differing from the results obtained by Souto Maior et al (1999) and Rodrigues et al (2000), who diagnosed frequencies of this genus in the large intestine of 16.5% and 10.8% of the animals, respectively. On the other hand, Martins et al (2001) described a similar occurrence rate for Triodontophorus serratus in adult horses (40%).…”

“…In order to achieve this goal, studies have been conducted to evaluate the rates of helminthic infections in this animal species in different regions of the world, such as the United States (REINEMEYER et al, 1984;TOLLIVER et al, 1987), Poland (GAWOR, 1995, Australia (BUCKNELL et al, 1996), Japan (YOSHIHARA et al, 1994), South Africa (MATTHEE et al, 2000) and Brazil (BARBOSA, 1995;SOUTO MAIOR et al, 1999;RODRIGUES et al, 2000;MARTINS et al, 2001;DA SILVA ANJOS & DE LURDES A RODRIGUES, 2006).…”

Ecological aspects of small strongylids in the Paraíba Valley Region, State of São Paulo, Brazil

“…In Brazil, several investigative studies on prevalence and abundance regarding the Cyathostominae have already been published (LANFREDI, 1983;BARBOSA, 1995;OLIVEIRA et al, 1994;CARVALHO et al, 1998;SILVA et al, 1999;SOUTO MAIOR et al, 1999;RODRIGUES et al, 2000;ANJOS & RODRIGUES, 2006). However, only studies conducted in Rio de Janeiro (SOUTO MAIOR et al, 1999;RODRIGUES et al, 2000;ANJOS & RODRIGUES, 2006), considered the ecological analysis of the communities of equine parasites in the segments of the large intestine (caecum, ventral colon and dorsal colon) in individualised fashion.…”
