“…Recurrent diarrhoea as a syndrome of cyathostomosis was described previously in five aged ponies and all except one responded to therapy by oral ivermectin (Mair, 1993). In our study recurrent diarrhoea was observed in a six year old Thoroughbred mare (case 2).…”

ABSTRACT:Twelve clinical cases of cyathostomosis in horses treated at the Equine Clinic University of Veterinary and Pharmaceutical Sciences in Brno, the Czech Republic, between the years 1999 and 2008 are described in this report. Six cases (50%) were hospitalized in the period from 2007 to 2008. Eleven of them were hospitalized in the period from December to March. Only one case was admitted in June, but the clinical signs had appeared for the first time in January. All horses described in these cases were younger than six years of age. Diarrhoea as a predominant clinical sign was present in four horses and colic in four horses. One horse showed both colic and diarrhoea whilst three horses had weight loss and subcutaneous oedema. Metabolic acidosis was found in three horses, eight patients had leucocytosis. Hypoproteinemia was found in four horses, hypoalbuminemia in seven horses, hypokalemia in three horses and increased alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity in five horses. Seven horses recovered, one horse died and four horses were euthanized.

“…Clinical signs include diarrhoea (Mair et al, 1990;Love et al, 1992;Mair, 1993), subcutaneous oedema, intermittent colics and weight loss Smets et al, 1999). Several different clinical syndromes connected with cyathostome infection are distinguished by Mair (2002): 1.…”

“…It is still a controversial point if there exits any cross-infection between these two host-species for all or any of their parasitic cyathostomine species (LANFREDI, 1983). Several foreign papers also testify to the importance of the Cyathostominae (HERD, 1990, UHLINGER, 1990, HERD, 1991, MAIR, 1993.…”

By previous fecal examinations, 14 naturally nematode infected equine hosts were selected from horsebreeding farms in Jaboticabal County, São Paulo State, Brazil. The animals were divided in two experimental groups according to age: seven animals, 12 to 24 months old, were allotted to the Young Group and the other seven equines, all of them with more than 60 months old, constituted the Adult Group. One week later all 14 equine hosts were slaughtered and the separate contents, plus a thorough scraping, of each section of the gastro-intestinal tract (stomach, small intestine and large intestine), were collected. Nematodes from every segment were identified, sexed and counted, and emphasis was put on the Cyathostominae found in the large intestine. The prevalent Cyathostominae species found were carefully studied.From the total of 537,128 nematodes collected from the 14 animals of both age groups, 80.5% belonged to the Cyathostominae sub-family (small strongyles). From these, 72.64% came from the Young Group hosts and the remaining 27.36% from the Adult one. The hosts of the Young Group harbored 22 species of Cyathostominae, while those of the Adult Group had only 14 species.This study points out the higher prevalence of the Cyathostominae among the nematode parasites of equines from the studied area in Brazil. Key words: Cyathostomes, horses, age.Resumo: Foram selecionados, por meio de exames coprológicos, 14 eqüinos naturalmente infectados por nematóides, oriundos de haras do município de Jaboticabal, São Paulo, Brasil. Os animais foram distribuídos em dois grupos experimentais de sete animais cada, conforme a faixa etária: entre 12 e 24 meses (jovens) e com mais de 60 meses de idade (adultos). Após uma semana, os 14 equinos foram necropsiados e todo conteúdo e raspado de cada segmento do trato gastrintestinal (estômago, intestinos delgado e grosso) foram recolhidos. Os nematóides presentes em todos segmentos anatômicos foram identificados, sexados e contados. Foi dada ênfase aos Cyathostominae encontrados no intestino grosso. De um total de 537.128 nematóides recuperados dos 14 animais necropsiados, 80,5% pertenciam à sub-família Cyathostominae (pequenos estrôngilus). Destes, 72,64% foram encontrados nos equinos jovens e os 27,36% restantes nos animais adultos. Os animais jovens apresentaram 22 espécies de Cyathostominae, enquanto os adultos apresentaram apenas 14 espécies. Este estudo aponta a maior prevalência de ciatostomíneos, entre os nematóides parasitos, principalmente em equinos de 12 a 24 meses de idade, oriundos da região estudada. Palavras-chave: Ciatostomíneos, faixa etária, eqüinos, nematóides.

“…Die Vertreter der Cyathostominae galten im Vergleich mit den Großen Strongyliden in der Vergangenheit als weniger pathogen (Chiejina et Mason, 1977;Church et al, 1986;Eckert, 1992;Reilly et al, 1993 (Chiejina et Mason, 1977;Eysker et al, 1984;Grles et al, 1985;Pfister et al, 1988;Mair et al, 1990;Love et al, 1992;Reilly et al, 1993;Mair, 1993Mair, , 1994Ribbeck et al, 1997;Abbott, 1998a;Klei et French, 799B (Nelbers, 1981.;Hasslinger und Bittner, 1984;Klei et French, 1998 u.a.).

ZusammenfassungInfektionen mit Strongyliden gehören zu den häufigen und bedeutungsvollen Endoparasitosen des Pferdes. Dabei dominiert der Befall mit den sog. Kleinen Strongyliden, vor allem mit Spezies aus der Unterfamilie Cyathostominae. Beim klinischen Bild stehen plötzlich einsetzende hochgradige Diarrhoe, Inappetenz, Abmagerung, Kachexie, Exsikkose, Festliegen, hochgradige Hypoalbuminämie im Vordergrund. Der konsequenten Prophylaxe durch wirksames Weidemanagement und strategische anthelminthische Behandlung der larvalen Cyathostominose gilt besondere Aufmerksamkeit.Schlüsselwörter: Pferd, Kleine Strongyliden, larvale Cyathostominose, Epidemiologie, Prophylaxe Clinical picture and epidemiology of the infection with small strongyles Clinical picture (sudden onset severe diarrhoea, food refusal, rapid weight loss, cachexia, dehydration, recumbency, severe hypoalbuminemia), epidemiology and prophylaxis (pasture management, strategic anthelmintic treatment) of the larval cyathostomiasis in horses are described.
