Abstract Background Mixed strongylid infections significantly impact equine health and performance. Traditional microscopy-based methods exhibit limitations in accurately identifying species. Nemabiome deep amplicon sequencing approach previously succeeded describing the communities livestock including equids. However, there are no available studies that describe structural of parasites horses Thailand. Therefore, this study was undertaken encompassing ITS-2 rDNA metabarcoding assay to characterize species within horse fecal samples collected from a cohort yearlings at largest domesticated stud farm In addition, investigate capability assessing phylogenetic relationships among identified Results The 14 examined populations, each with varying prevalence. Notably, Cylicocyclus nassatus Cylicostephanus longibursatus were as predominant species, Strongylus spp. conspicuously absent. analysis 207 sequence variants (ASVs) displayed complex relationship investigated cyathostomin some positioned across multiple clades, demonstrating close associations various genera. Conclusion nemabiome technique provided detailed picture parasite studied population. This establishes foundation for future investigations into resistance status these enables efforts mitigate their impact.

Over the past few decades, emergence of resistance amongst intestinal parasites horses to all available anthelmintic classes has emphasised need for a paradigm shift in parasite control approaches within Australian equine industry. Findings recent Australia‐wide research project have provided new insights into (i.e. strongyles and ascarids) from perspectives horse breeders veterinarians. The published data revealed trends prevalence distribution, breeders' veterinarians' attitudes on controlling internal parasites, efficacy commonly used products post‐treatment egg reappearance periods. These studies formed basis newly developed guidelines managing treating gastrointestinal nematodes horses. Tailored veterinarians, these contain information target risk factors their transmission, as well practical advice surveillance, choice, timing treatment, testing refugia.

Abstract Background Anthelmintic resistance (AR) threatens effective equine parasite control. Quarterly data summaries from faecal worm egg count testing (FWECT) performed by UK laboratories have appeared in Equine Disease Surveillance Reports (EQDSR) since 2007, but not previously been assessed. Objectives To assess strongyle FWECT methods and thresholds used laboratories. investigate factors associated with quarterly laboratory positivity rates between 2007 2023. Study design Laboratory surveys analysis of summary data. Methods Laboratories were surveyed Q3 2018 again Q4 Proportions FWECTs reported positive (PTP) each quarter individual 2023 analysed using multiple mixed‐effects linear regression, evaluating laboratory‐level random‐effects fixed‐effects variables for ordered categories FWECT‐thresholds, year‐quarters consecutive year groups. Results Ten responded 13 Samples commonly at >0 to <100 eggs per gram (epg) ≥200 epg. Regression modelling 1190 EQDSR submissions confirmed significantly decreased PTP ≥100 <300 epg (level‐2: −12.0%, p = 0.03), ≥300 (level‐3: −18.0%, 0.03) when specified (level‐4: −12.2%, 0.0), relative level‐1 baseline (>0 epg). No significant seasonal variation was evident. Overall, controlling between‐laboratory thresholds, there remained evidence a gradient increasing over the study period (2007–2009).

Abstract Equids are infected by a diversity of gastrointestinal nematode parasites, including 64 species equine strongyle nematodes from19 genera. Despite numerous surveys horse strongyles worldwide, certain geographic regions and rare remain understudied. In 1964, new strongyle, Cylicocyclus pekingensis , was described from donkey in China. Subsequently, this recorded horses Kazakhstan reclassified as Hsiungia (K’ung Yang, 1964), the only genus. Since then, H. has not been reported elsewhere, with limited knowledge on its distribution phylogeny. This study documents first record North America. Adult specimens were recovered fecal samples domestic Alberta, Canada, following treatment ivermectin. Species identification involved detailed morphological examination, complemented sequencing internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1), 5.8S rRNA gene, 2 (ITS2) nuclear genome. Phylogenetic analysis indicated close evolutionary relationship Poteriostomum Parapoteriostomum Nemabiome ITS2 paired pre-treatment sample also detected presence studied horse. Re-analysis public nemabiome datasets further feral but other considered. expands known enhances our placement phylogeny strongyles. Furthermore, re-analysis highlights value approach for studying global parasite species.
