Thirty-one Polish primitive horses (Equus caballus) from three herds (two from the reserve and one from the stable) were dewormed with ivermectin+praziquantel and examined for the gastrointestinal parasite fauna. A total of 21.231 parasites were collected from the faeces at 24, 36 and 48 hours posttreatment. There were 35 nematode species, one cestode and one botfly larva. Strongyloides westeri infection was confirmed pretreatment by faecal sample examination and no threadworm specimens were found after deworming. Large and small strongyle prevalence was 90 %-100 % and represented by 31 species. Among a total of 25 cyathostome species recovered (from 19 to 24 in each group), five species (C. catinatum, C. minutus, C. longibursatus, C. nassatus and C. ashworthi) had a prevalence of 100 % in three groups of horses. Meanwhile 14 species were 100 % prevalent in one herd. A total of six large strongyle species were found in adult horses. Oxyuris equi was recorded in 60-100 % of the horses while Parascaris equorum was detected in 100 % of foals and 16.7 %-30 % of adult mares. Habronema muscae was found in 30 % of the horses from one free-ranging herd. Tapeworms (Anoplocephala perfoliata) were found in 90 % of the horses from one free-ranging group, whereas botfly larvae (Gasterophilus intestinalis) were found in 50-80 % of all surveyed horses. The present results are compared with earlier studies of Polish primitive wild horses from similar reserves in Poland. A total of 36 gastrointestinal parasite species were recorded from wild and stabled horses from the Biebrza National Park. This is in comparison with 35 such species in free-ranging and stabled horses from the Roztocze National Park and with 28 such species of free-ranginghorses from the Popielno forest reserve. Among parasites recovered, the highly prevalent S. vulgaris, tapeworms and botfly larvae pose a serious risk of serious abdominal disorders in horses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
