“…This result was similar to what was described by Martins et al (2001) (53.3%), but divergent from what was described by Bucknell et al (1996) and Matthee et al (2000), who found 7.0% and 29.0% respectively.…”

“…The absence of this parasite differs from the results found by Matthee et al (2000), Bucknell et al (1996) and Gawor (1995) who, in other countries, found occurrences of 3.0%, 3.0% and 14.0% for this species, respectively. 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.…”

With the aim of studying the endoparasite fauna of horses from the Formiga city, located in center-west region of the state of Minas Gerais, 25 animals that were naturally infected with helminths were evaluated. By means of parasitological necropsies, different endoparasites were found. The subfamily Cyathostominae presented the highest incidence, followed by Trichostrongylus axei, Oxyuris equi, Triodontophorus serratus, Strongyloides westeri, Strongylus edentatus, Habronema muscae, Parascaris equorum, Probstmayria vivipara, Strongylus vulgaris, Gasterophilus nasalis, Anoplocephala magna and Anoplocephala perfoliata. In the present study, if the species Probstmayria vivipara was not considered in the prevalence, the frequency of Cyathostominae was equivalent to 94.85%. The results obtained in this study allowed us to detect and identify different species of helminths in horses, and confirmed the high incidence of nematodes belonging to the subfamily Cyathostominae in the center-west region of Minas Gerais.

“…The majority of the strongylid nematodes specific to equids are common in various host species (Ogbourne, 1976;Krecek et al, 1989;Dvojnos & Kharchenko, 1994;Bucknell et al, 1995Bucknell et al, , 1996. However, there are some differences in the species composition of the intestinal strongylid communities in particular species of equids.…”

Comparative studies of the intestinal strongylid communities of 14 ponies, 6 donkeys and 9 zebras from the "Askania-Nova" Biosphere reserve (Ukraine) were carried out after deworming the hosts with aversectin drug. Faecal sampling (200 g each) was performed at 24, 36, 48, 60, and 72 hours after treatment; all nematodes expelled were collected and identified. Thirty strongylid species from 12 genera were found; 7 species from the Strongylinae and 23 species from Cyathostominae. In ponies 27 species were found (range 8 -23; mean 14 ± 3.8). In donkeys 23 species were found (range 11 -15; mean 12 ± 1.3). Cyathostomum tetracanthum a species specific for donkeys was found for the first time in Ukraine. In zebras 17 species were found (range 2 -13; mean 7 ± 3.6). The results obtained confirmed the specificity of the intestinal strongylid fauna of different equid species grazing on the same pastures in the "Askania-Nova" reserve.

“…Th e prevalence frequency distribution was determined for all strongylid species according to Bucknell et al (1996). Th e proportion of each species in the strongylid community of each host was calculated as the number of specimens of the particular species in relation to the total number of strongylids found.…”

Gastrointestinal Parasite Community in a New Population of the Przewalski's Horse (EquusTh e fi rst group of 6 Przewalski's horses (2 males and 4 females) born in the semi-reserve Le Villaret, France, was transported to the Orenburg Reserve. Th e aim of this work was to investigate the species composition of the intestinal parasite community and to monitor the dynamics of the parasite infection of the newly established Przewalski's horse population. Th e level of infection by gastrointestinal parasites within the horses was examined by the McMaster method. Gastrointestinal parasites were collected in vivo aft er deworming of the horses with macrocyclic lactone drug "Univerm" (0.2 % aversectin C, PharmBioMed, Russia). Totally, 20 species of parasites were found: 19 species of nematodes (species of the family Strongylidae and Habronema muscae) and one species of botfl ies from the genus Gasterophilus. Th e widest species diversity (18 species from 8 genera) was observed in strongylids: 2 species from the subfamily Strongylinae and 16 species from Cyathostominae. Distribution of strongylid species between ten prevalence classes revealed a bimodal structure ("core-satellite" mode) of the strongylid community. Th e results obtained in this study are to be considered as the initial data for the further parasitological monitoring of Przewalski's horses at the Orenburg State Reserve.
