“…prevalence (45.28%). Besides that, the present prevalence of Strongyloides papillosus (3.55%) was more or less different from those stated by Singh et al (2015), Yusof and Isa (2016), Das et al (2017), and Verma et al (2018) who mentioned that 9.17%, 45.6%, 8.91%, and 0.70% of goats were infected by Strongyloides papillosus successively. Yadav (2000) declared that humid tropical environment has been considered favorable for the development of various species of nematodes.…”

“…One of the main factors of S. papillosus vitality in the external environment is the level of moisture (Nath, 1978;Taira et al, 1991;Jacquiet et al, 1992;Fritsche et al, 1993;Ndao et al, 1995;Gruner et al, 1998;Chompoochan et al, 1998). The study of the impact of this parameter remains relevant nowadays (Sissay et al, 2007;Das et al, 2017). According to Nath (1978), the survival of eggs and larvae of S. papillosus in the external environment depends on moisture.…”
