Discussion

Observational study assessed Strongylidae prevalence in horses, revealing high parasitic loads and distribution patterns.

All nine horses were found to be parasitized with strongylidae throughout the year, showing consistent infection levels.
The average eggs per gram (OPG) reached peaks of 1400 during summer and 1170 in autumn, indicating a significant parasitic burden.
Monthly fecal samples were analyzed using coproparasitological methods over the span of one year, ensuring thorough monitoring.
Findings highlight potential health impacts of untreated strongylidae infections in horses, underscoring the need for regular anthelmintic treatment.

Marques et al. (2025) studied this question.
