Abstract: Aim: A longitudinal study was conducted to assess the epidemiology of common gastrointestinal parasite (GIP) infections affecting goats in South Africa as influenced by agro-ecological zone (AEZ), sampling season, and the age and sex of animals. Materials and Methods: A total of 288 goats (101 male and 187 female) were randomly sampled during winter and summer in areas representing four AEZs (arid: 80; semi-arid: 76; humid: 62; and dry sub-humid: 70) of South Africa. Fecal samples from each animal wer… Show more

“…Fecal samples of cattle were collected randomly from different locations in Kalasin. Populations of cattle were calculated by a mathematical formula [18], with an expected incidence of 75%, and a confidence level of 95% with 5% of maximum error. The required sample size was calculated to be 288 cattle samples.…”

“…Invariable analysis was accompanied by using the Chi-square test and t-test for the designated explanatory variables and those having a P-value ≤of 0.05 were inspected as noteworthy. Statistical data management and rest of the analysis were performed by using MS Excel, STATA, and SPSS version-12 [20][21] MATERIALS USED DURING ANALYSIS Distilled water, applicator stick, universal bottle, polythene bags, labelling sheets, glass slides, hand gloves, masking tape, saturated salt solution, beaker, universal bottles, spatula sieve, light microscope, faecal samples, freezer, xylene.…”

“…Goats (Capra hircus) are found to be highly susceptible to Gastro-Intestinal Parasite (GIP) infections (Singh et al, 2017;Mpofu et al, 2020) often leading to clinical diseases and loss of productivity (Risso et al, 2015;Rodríguez et al, 2015) and in extreme conditions, even death (Jegede et al, 2015). The most prevalent GIPs affecting goats in Africa are the Strongyloides papillosus, Monezia, Trichuris, Eimeria spp.…”

“…and strongyles, especially the Homonchus contortus, Trichostrongylus spp. belonging to the order Strongylida (Blackie, 2014;Verma et al, 2018;Mpofu et al, 2020). Their prevalence varies with location/agro-ecological zones and ranges up to 90% and have been documented in various studies in Africa (Adeyemi et al, 2017;Zvinorova, 2017;Hassan et al, 2019;Squire et al, 2019;Mpofu et al, 2020).…”
