[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
equine parascarosis under the tropical weather conditions of ethiopia: a coprological and postmortem study.	a cross-sectional coprological survey in the regions of ada, akaki, bereh and boset, and a retrospective postmortem investigation were conducted to study the epidemiology of parascaris equorum in donkeys and horses in ethiopia. faecal samples from 803 working donkeys and 402 horses were collected, and the numbers of worms recovered from 112 donkeys examined postmortem between 1995 and 2004 were analysed. there was a high prevalence of infection and faecal egg output of p equorum in both donkeys ...	2008	18263917
