  • prevalence of gastrointestinal helminthes of donkeys and mules in and around bahir dar ethiopia
    Ethiopian Veterinary Journal, 2014
    Co-Authors: Bewketu Takele, Endalkachew Nibret
    Abstract:

    This study was conducted from October, 2010 to April, 2011 in and around Bahir Dar to identify the major gastrointestinal helminthes of donkeys and mules, to estimate prevalence of these parasites and their burden on equines. A total of 384 faecal samples (212 donkeys and 172 mules) were collected randomly for qualitative and quantitative faecal analyses. The overall prevalence of different parasites was found to be 88.21% in donkeys and 77.91% in mules. In the study area, 94.1% of donkeys and 84.33% of mules harbored two or more types of parasites (mixed infection). The parasites encountered in both donkeys and mules in the study period were strongyles species (65.09% and 66.28%), Trichostrongylus axei (42.45% and 31.97%), Triodontophorus spp. (36.32% and 33.72%), Trichonema spp.(34.91% and 37.79%), Parascaris equorum (13.68% and 10.46%), Dictyocaulus arnfieldi (22.17% and 8.14%), Anoplocephala (23.12% and 16.86%) and Fasciola spp.(17.92% and 13.95%), respectively. The prevalence of all identified parasites were statistically significant (p<0.05) between female and male donkeys. The prevalence of strongyles, T. axei, Triodontophorus, Trichonema , and P. equorum was statistically significant (p<0.05) among age groups of donkeys, but Anoplocephala and Fasciola was not. In mules, the prevalence of strongyles, Triodontophorus and Trichonema was statistically significant (p<0.05), but the prevalence of T. axei, P. equorum, D. arnfieldi, Anoplocephala, and Fasciola was not. The body condition score was negatively correlated (r=-0.664 for donkeys and r=-0.637 for mules, respectively) with total eggs per gram of faeces (EPG). The findings of the present study indicated a high prevalence of helminthic parasites compromising the health and welfare of equines. Sustainable prevention and control methods should be developed to prevent the burden of gastrointestinal helminthes of equines in and around Bahir Dar.

  • Biological aspects on Dictyocaulus arnfieldi.
    Journal of the Egyptian Society of Parasitology, 2010
    Co-Authors: Mahmoud A. El-seify, Ismail Saad Elshahawy
    Abstract:

    In the postmortem examination of 54 adult donkeys slaughtered for the carnivore animals in Kafr El-Sheikh Zoological Garden, Dictyocaulus arnfieldi (Cobbold, 1884) Railliet and Henry, 1907 was demonstrated in their lungs. The biological data of the different developmental stages were recorded and discussed, where the period required for maturation, hatching and development of 2nd and 3rd stage larvae was 84 hours, general discussion was given.

  • Dictyocaulus arnfieldi cobbold 1884 analise comparativa da ocorrencia em equinos muares e asininos
    Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Research and Animal Science, 1996
    Co-Authors: Maria Da Gloria Quintao E Silva, Amalia Veronica Mendes Silva, Helio Martins De Araujo Costa
    Abstract:

    To study Dictyocaulus arnfieldi occurrence, the authors analysed the lungs of 20 donkeys, 22 mules and 44 horses from the following Brazilian States: Maranhao, Piaui, Ceara, Rio Grande do Norte, Paraiba, Pernambuco, Bahia, Minas Gerais and Goias. The prevalence of the infection was 65% in donkeys, 22.72% in mules and 4.54% in horses, with the mean intensity of 34.3 worms in the donkeys, 36.5 in the mules and 2.0 in the horses. The authors reported the D. arnfieldi Male/Female ratios which are: 1: 1.82 in donkeys and 1: 4.41 in mules.
