- Abstract
The paper describes the prevalence of helminth species in horses from five localities of Arad County, western Romania: Vinga, Pecica, Arad, Şiria and Lipova. A total of 56 horses (5 foals, 10 yearlings and 41 adults) were sampled in order to establish the parasite spectrum. Faecal samples were processed by McMaster technique. All horses (100%) were parasitized, and five types of helminthes were identified. Digestive strongyles were found in 73.21% of horses, roundworms (Parascaris equorum) in 28.57%, threadworms (Strongyloides westeri) in 8.92%, pinworms (Oxyuris equi) in 12.50%, and tapeworms (Anoplocephala spp.) in 19.64%, respectively. At least two helminth species were found in each individual.
