Abstract

Prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites in horses in Luxor Egypt

Highlights

  • Gastrointestinal parasites infect several species of equines, including protozoa, helminthes and gastric by diarrhoea, hypoproteinaemia and rapid emaciation, is a critical disease in young grazing horses (Love et al., 1999)

  • The outcome of periodic use of anthelmintic to monitor gastrointestinal parasites is the development of anthelmintic resistance and reduced efficacy of available anthelmintic classes (Kaplan et al, 2004; Smith et al, 2015)

  • It has been reported that macrocyclic lactones (ML) treatment is followed by Shortened egg reappearance period (ERP) (Daniels et al, 2016 and Rossano et al, 2010) and that is an early indicator of strongyle resistance species

Summary

Introduction

Gastrointestinal parasites infect several species of equines, including protozoa, helminthes and gastric by diarrhoea, hypoproteinaemia and rapid emaciation, is a critical disease in young grazing horses (Love et al., 1999). It has been reported that macrocyclic lactones (ML) treatment is followed by Shortened egg reappearance period (ERP) (Daniels et al, 2016 and Rossano et al, 2010) and that is an early indicator of strongyle resistance species. Parascaris equorum resistance to macrocyclic lactones reported in several countries (Peregrine et al, 2014). Such reports focus on the need for controlling the anthelmintic drug usage, to stop the anthelmintic resistance species (Nielsen et al, 2018). (FEC) must be done before treatment to reduce anthelmintic resistance species, and limiting the anthelmintic usage and selective pressure on parasitic infected one (Kaplan et al, 2010). The prevalence of infection and anthelmintic resistance in equid population in continuous increasing, because the practice of (FEC) testing couldn't be performed in many working equid populations
