PREVALENCE OF GASTROINTESTINAL NEMATODES IN FARM HORSES OF RURAL COMMUNITIES IN SOME PROVINCES OF PANAMA

PREVALENCE OF GASTROINTESTINAL NEMATODES IN FARM HORSES OF RURAL COMMUNITIES IN SOME PROVINCES OF PANAMA

This study evaluated the prevalence of gastrointestinal nematodes in farm horses of rural communities in some provinces of Panama. Fecal samples were collected and coproparasitological techniques were applied to determine the presence of the genera Trichostrongylus spp, Strongyloides sp, Strongylus spp and Parascaris spp. The results showed that the age of the horses was associated with high infection indices, with younger males being the most affected. The most prevalent nematodes were Trichostrongylus spp (x? = 720hpg) y Strongylus spp (x? = 655hpg). It is recommended to implement proper preventive measures to reduce infestation by these parasites and thus improve the welfare and health of horses, as well as to prevent diseases related to it.

Este estudio evaluó la prevalencia de nemátodos gastrointestinales en caballos de granja de comunidades rurales en algunas provincias de Panamá. Para ello, se recolectaron muestras de heces y se aplicaron técnicas coproparasitológicas para determinar la presencia de los géneros Trichostrongylus spp, Strongyloides sp, Strongylus spp y Parascaris spp. Los resultados mostraron que la edad de los caballos se asoció con altos índices de infestación, siendo los machos más jóvenes aquellos más afectados. Los nemátodos más prevalentes fueron Trichostrongylus spp (x? = 720hpg) y Strongylus spp (x? = 655hpg). Se recomienda la implementación de medidas preventivas apropiadas para disminuir la infestación/infección por estos parásitos y mejorar así el bienestar y salud de los caballos, así como prevenir enfermedades relacionadas con el mismo.
