| Composition of the cyathostomin species in horses with a special focus on Cylicocyclus brevicapsulatus |
| The aim of the study was to evaluate the composition of the cyathostomin species (Cyathostominae) in horses kept in the housed-pasture system. Specimens were collected in 2009 from the feces of 14 horses after treatment with Grovermina (1% ivermectin). Among 21,371 specimens collected, 19 species of cyathostomins were found. The most abundant genera were Cyathostomum, Cylicostephanus and Cylicocyclus, which constituted 93.56% of the total Cyathostominae community. Cylicocyclus brevicapsulatus was found for the first time in Poland. |
