| [parasitic helminths of the cecum and colon of equidae in italy]. | intestinal helminths from coecum and colon were studied in 93 equidae including 40 horses, 36 donkeys and 17 mules. a total of 38 species, 36 nematodes and 2 cestodes, were identified as follows: 1) triodontophorus serratus, 2) triodontophorus brevicauda, 3) strongylus equinus, 4) strongylus edentatus, 5) strongylus vulgaris, 6) cyathostomum tetracanthum, 7) cyathostomum coronatum, 8) cyathostomum labiatum, 9) cyathostomum labratum, 10) cyathostomum alveatum, 11) cyathostomum pateratum, 12) cyat ... | 1992 | 1339978 |
| a critical efficacy test of cambendazole in equids: the use of the geometric means to assess efficacy. | the anthelmintic efficacy of a 44.5% paste formulation of cambendazole was evaluated in a critical trial performed on 5 horses and a donkey. a dosage of 20 mg/kg showed reduction of mean parasite burdens as follows: strongylinae greater than 99%; cyathostominae 94%; immature and adult oxyuris equi 89 and greater than 99%; probstmayria vivipara greater than 99% and habronema muscae 97%. parascaris equorum and anoplocephala perfoliata were present in small numbers in individual animals only, and w ... | 1980 | 7017145 |
| [endoparasites of donkeys and horses kept in communal housing in upper bavaria; species spectrum and incidence]. | in this epidemiological study of endoparasites 37 donkeys and 23 horses were included, which were examined coproscopically in regular intervals over a 15 month period. the animals derived from ten farms, in which regular prophylactic treatments with anthelmintics had been practiced at least for two years before this investigation. this study revealed the presence of at least twelve parasite species in donkeys, eimeria leuckarti, gasterophilus intestinalis, fasciola hepatica, anoplocephala perfol ... | 1996 | 8999593 |
| gastrointestinal parasites of working donkeys of ethiopia. | the general prevalence and population composition of gastrointestinal and pulmonary helminths of working donkeys were studied. for the purpose 2935 working donkeys were coprologically examined for nematode and cestode, and 215 donkeys for trematode infections. seven donkeys that died due to various health problems or were euthanased on a welfare ground were necropsied and the parasites were recovered and identified to the species level. the study was conducted during the periods 1996-1999.coprol ... | 2010 | 19548106 |
| a survey of seasonal gastrointestinal parasitic infections in donkeys from a semiarid sub-saharan region, sudan. | out of 92 donkeys examined for gastrointestinal parasites, 90 animals were found infected by one or more gastrointestinal parasites with an overall prevalence rate of 97.78%. the distributions of the recovered parasites in the different parts of the body were as follows: stomach, 92.4%, small intestine, 19.6%, caecum, 88%, colon, 80.4%, rectum, 73.9%, and cranial mesenteric artery, 64.1%. a significant difference was found between mean parasite counts and seasons. hot wet season had higher mean ... | 2016 | 27298739 |
| field efficacy of praziquantel oral paste against naturally acquired equine cestodes in ethiopia. | the efficacy of an oral formulation of praziquantel (equitape, horse paste, fort dodge) in the reduction of cestode egg counts and serum antibody level against anoplocephala perfoliata was assessed in 44 donkeys under field conditions. the donkeys were confirmed both by faecal examination and serum antibody assessed by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to have natural infection with tapeworms. the donkeys were randomly allocated into treatment (n = 22) and control (n = 22) groups. the treatme ... | 2013 | 23001508 |
| equine cestodosis: a sero-epidemiological study of anoplocephala perfoliata infection in ethiopia. | a 12/13 kda antigen, tapeworm elisa test, developed for use in horses, was used to detect parasite-specific serum antibody, igg(t), in the serum of donkeys. in a pilot study the 12/13 kda antigen was tested and proved to detect the antibody, igg(t), in donkey sera. blood samples from 797 donkeys, naturally exposed to cestode infection, from four geographical localities were collected and sera were prepared and analysed. there was substantial serological evidence that donkeys were potentially inf ... | 2012 | 22294318 |
