“…The present study indicated a prevalence of A. perfoliata infected horses (29%) similar to that found previously in Denmark (22%: Hansen and Mansa 1997). While the Danish level apparently remains below that reported for Wales/England (69%: Owen et al 1988) Ireland (51%: Fogarty et al 1994) and Sweden (65%: Nilsson et al 1995), it is similar to prevalence levels described in Germany (38%: Beelitz and Gothe 1997), Norway (20%: Ihler et al 1995) and the Netherlands (21%: Borgsteede and Beek 1996). Comparisons between different diagnostic methods corroborated the usefulness of both faecal egg count technique and serological assay for identification of potentially treatmentdemanding horses infected with A. perfoliata.…”

“…Incorporating some element of tapeworm monitoring into a surveillance-based parasite control strategy has proven to be somewhat challenging (Nielsen et al 2014). The available body of evidence suggests that A. perfoliata is common on different continents and in different climates around the world but that the prevalence can vary in the range of 20-80% (Bain and Kelly 1977;Slocombe 1979;Lyons et al 1983Lyons et al , 2000Reinemeyer et al 1984;Owen et al 1988;Benton and Lyons 1994;Fogarty et al 1994;Bucknell et al 1995;Borgsteede and van Beek 1996;Hinney et al 2011;Rehbein et al 2013). Thus, the parasite should be expected to be present in most equine establishments but not necessarily in every single horse.…”

“…With some species variation, oribatid mites appear to prefer certain habitats over others and exhibit peak abundance at specific times during the year (van Nieuwenhuizen et al 1994). Anoplocephala perfoliata, however, is highly prevalent in numerous countries on several continents, representing a wide range of possible habitats (Bain and Kelly 1977;Slocombe 1979;Lyons et al 1983Lyons et al , 2000Reinemeyer et al 1984;Owen et al 1988;Benton and Lyons 1994;Fogarty et al 1994;Bucknell et al 1995;Borgsteede and van Beek 1996;Hinney et al 2011;Rehbein et al 2013;Tomczuk et al 2015).

Summary Equine tapeworm infection has gained increasing attention over the past few decades and a number of research studies have already been published. These focus primarily on the most common of the 3 tapeworm species, Anoplocephala perfoliata, although some new information has also been generated for the other two species, Anoplocephala magna and Anoplocephaloides mamillana. The preponderance of research studies have focused on development and validation of diagnostic techniques for tapeworm detection and the role of these parasites in equine gastrointestinal disease. Several diagnostic techniques have been found useful for diagnosis of A. perfoliata but each has its strengths and weaknesses. Egg counting techniques have been modified to achieve acceptable to good diagnostic performance but the trade‐off is often a more time‐consuming method. Validation studies indicate that these methods can reliably detect tapeworm burdens above 10 worms. Several enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) have been developed and made commercially available. These can generate useful information about tapeworm exposure on the herd level but are less reliable for individual diagnosis. Unfortunately, none of the available diagnostic techniques are useful for evaluating anthelmintic treatment efficacy. Coproantigen testing may find use as a future diagnostic modality but further characterisation is required. The large body of scientific evidence supports an association between A. perfoliata infection and certain types of equine colic, although some discrepancy exists between studies. Tapeworm surveillance and control should be considered as part of the overall parasite control strategy. When properly used, the currently available diagnostic tools can guide the veterinarian to make strategic decisions regarding tapeworm control.

“…Safkan Arap ve Haflinger ırkları üzerine yapılan bir çalışmada; Arap atlarında A. perfoliata'nın, Haflingerlerde ise P. equorum ve Oxyuris equi'inin daha yaygın olduğu tespit edilmiştir (19). Parascaris enfeksiyonlarına erkeklerde daha sık rastlanırken (19,25), A. perfoliata için erkek ve dişiler arasında bir fark saptanmamıştır (7,8,25). Bu çalışmada elde edilen farkların, araştırmanın yapıldığı odaklardaki bakım ve yetiştirme şartları ile de ilgili olabileceği düşünülebilir.…”

Özet: Bu çalışma, sportif amaçlı (yarış, konkur, v.b.) at yetiştirilen odaklarda Anoplocephalidae enfeksiyonlarının prevalansını saptamak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Bu amaçla Bursa, Balıkesir, Kocaeli, Tekirdağ ve Eskişehir illerinde bulunan 18 odaktaki, farklı ırk, yaş ve cinsiyetten 460 atın taze dışkı örnekleri alınmıştır. Alınan örnekler sedimentasyon+santrifüj-flotasyon tekniği ile doymuş şekerli su (d:1.30) kullanılarak, Anoplocephalidae yumurtaları yönünden incelenmiştir. Atların 56'sında (%12.2) yumurta tespit edilmiş, 8 odakta (%44.4) ise en az bir atın enfekte olduğu saptanmıştır. Enfeksiyona odak bazında en düşük %4.3, en yüksek ise %70 olarak rastlanmıştır. Anoplocephalidae enfeksiyonunun, erkeklerde, 1-3 yaş arası atlarda ve safkan Arap ırkında daha yüksek oranda bulunduğu saptanmıştır.Anahtar sözcükler: Anoplocephala magna, Perfoliata, Mamillana, dışkı bakısı, prevalans, spor atı. Prevalence of Anoplocephalidae-infections according to fecal examination in sport horsesSummary: Aim of the present study was to determine the prevalance of Anoplocephalidae infections on enterprices where horses are kept for sport purposes (race, jumping, etc). A total of 460 horses of different age, gender and breed from 18 centres located in Bursa, Balıkesir, Kocaeli, Tekirdağ and Eskişehir were examined. Individual faecal samples were collected per rectum or freshly voided faeces. The samples were examined by means of sedimentation+centrifugation-flotation technique used saturated sugar solution (d=1.3) as medium. Anoplocephalidae-eggs were detected in 56 (12.2%) horses, whereas on 8 (44.4%) farms at least one horse was found to be infected. The lowest and the highest within farm prevalence was 4.3% and 70%, respectively. Males and Arabian purebred horses had significantly higher infection rates than females and the other breeds, respectively. Differences in prevalence in relation to age -animals between 1 and 3 years of age being more affected than older and younger ones-are seen.
