“…However, as the cold and dry conditions are comparatively unfavourable for the development of parasitic stages leading to lower infection rates in these seasons. Similar variations in seasonal prevalence had been earlier reported by several workers (Sengupta and Yadav 1998;Singh et al 2012;Matto et al 2013).…”

A total of 311 equine faecal samples (190 horses and 121 mules) collected from six districts of Central Plain Zone, Punjab were examined using standard coprological methods. The results showed an overall prevalence of 27.33 % for strongyles with rare to mild type of infection as evident from egg per gram of faeces. In particular, amongst the examined samples, 17.90 % of horses and 42.14 % of mules were infected and the difference was statistically significant (P \ 0.01). Identification of the faecal culture harvested larval stages, showed 56 % and 46 % of horses and mules, respectively, positive for small strongyles (Cyathostomes). Amongst the large strongyles, highest proportion was recorded for Strongylus vulgaris whereas, S. equinus was found in least proportion. Results indicated that the various risk factors viz. area, season, age and sex of the host had no significant effect on prevalence of strongyle infection in equines.

“…Further, Singh et al (2012) found 75.73% which is higher than the results of the present study. They have found that out of total 532 faecal samples examined, 394 were positive with a prevalence of 74.06 per cent which differs from findings of Matto et al (2013) who have reported as 38.79%. The reason for this increase may be attributed to the large number of animals taken under study by them.…”

“…These findings tallied with the results obtained by (Singh et al, 2012) they have reported the higher intensity of infection in monsoon (79.35%), summer (69.23%) while it was lowest in winter (59.70%). Matto et al (2013) found the overall prevalence of helminthes as 20.63% with higher rate of occurrence in monsoon (31.29%) followed by winter (20.40%) and summer (14.23%) (Strongyloides (13.19%) and Parascaris equorum (0.23%). On the other hand, Sengupta and Yadav, 1998 have mentioned high rainfall, optimum temperature and high relative humidity favour the development and survival of the infective larvae in and around the region of study.…”

The present study showed an overall prevalence of gastrointestinal nematodes in horses was found as 59.25% (80/135). On the basis of mean egg per gram (EPG), the higher prevalence was found in unorganized sector i.e., 65.45% in comparison of organized sector i.e. well managed farms (32%). Species of nematodes identified in the study included single infestation like, Strongyle (25%), Parascaris equorum (18.75%) followed by mixed infestation like Strongyles and Parascaris equorum (47.50%), Strongyles (species identification not done), Strongyloides and Parascaris equorum (5.0%) and Strongyle and Strongyloides (3.75%). The results of the present investigation revealed a relatively higher prevalence of mixed infestation in the horses. The prevalence of gastrointestinal nematodes in horses was maximum in the age group of 1-6 years (69.09%) followed by 6-12 years (62.96) and above 12-18 years (34.78%) respectively. The highest mean EPG was found in 12-18 years (1229.2) followed by 1-6 years (1079.50) and 6-12 years (887.29). The prevalence of gastrointestinal nematodes in horses was higher in females (60.97) in comparison to males (58.51). The highest mean EPG was found in females (1162.51) in comparison of males (942.24). All copyrights reserved to Nexus® academic publishers

A study was conducted to ascertain the incidence of gastrointestinal parasites in horses of Shimoga region, to generate the data regarding status of parasitic infections of equines in Karnataka state due to paucity of information. A total of 100 fresh fecal samples of equines were collected and examined by direct and sedimentation method for the detection of parasitic egg/ova. Among 100 samples examined, 84 (84.0 %) were found positive for various gastrointestinal helminths. Out of 84 positive cases, 44 (52.38 %) were found positive for Strongylus spp. eggs, 09 (10.71 %) showed Parascaris equorum eggs, 06 (7.14 %) had Gastrodiscus spp. eggs, 04 (4.76 %) harbored Oxyuris equi and the remaining 21 (25.0 %) had a mixed infection of Strongylus spp., Strongyloides spp. and Gastrodiscus spp.
