| pathological lesions associated with anoplocephala perfoliata at the ileo-caecal junction of horses. | the intestinal tracts of 20 horses, killed at a local abattoir and of unknown age, sex and previous clinical history were examined for the presence of anoplocephala perfoliata attached to the ileo-caecal junction. four horses had no tape-worms, nine had one to 20 tapeworms attached to the mucosa and seven had more than 100 attached to the mucosa. the histological changes of thickening, ulceration and eosinophil infiltration of the mucosa at the ileo-caecal junction were more severe when more tha ... | 1993 | 8451801 |
| investigation of an outbreak of tapeworm-associated colic in a training yard. | a novel serological assay which measures igg(t) specific for a 12/13 kda protein of the equine tapeworm anoplocephala perfoliata was used as part of a colic outbreak investigation. a training/rehabilitation yard for thoroughbreds and arabs was found to have an increasing incidence of colic over a 5 year period, culminating in a peak incidence of 1.15 episodes/horse year at risk. four animals suffered from ileal impaction colic which necessitated surgical management. a case-control study design s ... | 2000 | 11202380 |
| prevalence and diagnosis of parasites of the stomach and small intestine in horses in south-west england. | parasites were extracted from the stomach and small intestine of 118 horses at slaughter. the most abundant species was the tapeworm anoplocephala perfoliata. maximum likelihood analysis was used to investigate the relationship between the number of worms and their total weight, and the ability of an antibody-based elisa to diagnose the level of infection. the total weight of tapeworms increased towards a maximum as the number of worms increased, suggesting a population density-dependent constra ... | 2005 | 15879539 |
