“…These findings can guide local animal health service providers to design a prevention and control program for caprine gastrointestinal parasitoses in the study district and Rwanda at large. This study's overall prevalence of 100% agrees with that (100%) reported in Thailand and India 42,46 but it is higher than 78.7%, 89.33%, 90.4%, and 93.2% reported in Ethiopia, Egypt, Cameroon, and Italy respectively. 12,24,47,48 The high frequency of GiNCPs reported in the current study is comparable to previous findings reported in Ethiopia and Egypt.…”

Goat farming significantly contributes to the efficient use of land and socioeconomic development in developed and developing countries. During the fiscal year 2017-2018, goats made up 13.5% of the total live livestock exported by Rwanda. Gastrointestinal parasites (GIPs) can negatively impact goat production, especially in developing countries like Rwanda. This study aimed to determine the impact of the goat' age and location (administrative cell) on the prevalence of gastrointestinal nematodes, cestodes, and protozoans (GiNCPs) of goats in Nyagatare district, Rwanda. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 149 faecal samples were collected from apparently unwell goats and analyzed using the simple flotation technique. Strongyle-type nematodes (STNs) infections were graded using the McMaster method. Pearson chi-square tests of independence were calculated to assess the impact of the goat' age and location on the prevalence of GiNCPs in the study area. Results: All the goats (100%) were infected with GiNCPs. The identified types of parasites were STNs (96.0%), Coccidia (83.2%), Moniezia spp (14.8%), Strongyloides papillosus (12.8%), Nematodirus spp (0.7%) and Trichuris ovis (0.7%). Nearly 85.9% (128/149) of the goats were coinfected with 2 to 4 types of parasites and the coinfection of STNs and coccidia preponderated at 58.4%. The location (administrative cell) of the goats correlated with the prevalence of monieziasis (p<0.05). The goat's age category was also associated with the prevalence of strongyloidiasis (p<0.05). Conclusion: All the goats (100%) were infected with GiNCPs. The location (administrative cell) of the goat also correlated with the prevalence of monieziasis. In addition, the goat's age category was associated with the prevalence of strongyloidiasis. These findings show that any control program for caprine gastrointestinal parasitoses in the study area should focus on STNs and Coccidia.

“…were highest in all the three wild ungulates of the HNP. Our results are in consonance with(Ostrowski et al 2009& Ashraf et al 2022). This may be due to the transmitted 'oocyst' stage of these parasites which can withstand stressors like variation in temperature, dryness and changes in pH value and pressure (…”

Gastrointestinal parasitic infection is known to affect the health and population dynamics of wild ungulates. We evaluated the gastrointestinal parasitic prevalence and intensity of wild ungulates in the Hemis National Park of Ladakh by examining their fresh faecal samples. A total of 327 fresh faecal samples from three wild ungulates, blue sheep Pseudois nayaur (n = 127), Ladakh urial Ovis vignei vignei (n = 110) and Himalayan ibex Ibex siberica (n = 90) were collected between June 2021 and May 2022. The oatation and sedimentation techniques were employed for detection of parasitic eggs/oocysts. Out of 327 samples examined, 165 samples were infected with gastrointestinal parasites making an overall prevalence of (50.45%).During the present study seven parasitic genera were reported. Blue sheep was infected with Eimeria spp. (20.47%), Nematodirus spp. (8.66%), Strongyloides spp. (7.87%) and Moniezia spp. (6.29%). Ladakh urial was infected with Eimeria spp. (17.27%), Trichuris sp. (10.90%), Haemonchus sp. (5.45%) and Moniezia spp. (6.36%). Himalayan ibex was infected with Eimeria spp. (18.88%), Nematodirus spp. (8.88%) and Trichostrongylus spp. (5.55%). Out of 327 faecal samples examined, 36 samples (11%) were infected with mixed parasites. The highest prevalence was recorded in summer (64.42%) and the lowest in winter (33.82%). A signi cant difference in the parasitic prevalence was observed across seasons in each of the three wild ungulate hosts. However, there was no signi cant difference in the prevalence of parasites across these hosts.
