Clinical cyathostomiasis in horses is increasingly recognized due to larval small strongyle release. Drug resistance is a growing concern, potentially increasing disease prevalence.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Parasitology
  • Equine Medicine

Background:

  • Cyathostomiasis, caused by small strongyles, is a significant clinical issue in horses.
  • The condition is characterized by the sudden emergence of larval stages from the equine large intestine mucosa.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the increasing recognition and clinical presentation of cyathostomiasis in horses.
  • To discuss the factors contributing to the prevalence of clinical cyathostomiasis, including drug resistance.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of clinical cyathostomiasis in horses.
  • Analysis of clinical signs, diagnostic features, and contributing factors.

Main Results:

  • Clinical signs include diarrhea, colic, weight loss, hypoalbuminemia, and pyrexia.

  • Seasonal occurrence and post-treatment exacerbations are noted.
  • Moxidectin and fenbendazole show efficacy against encysted larvae.

    • Conclusions:

    • Drug resistance in small strongyles, particularly to common antiparasitics, is a major challenge.
    • Resistance limits control options and may drive an increase in clinical cyathostomiasis cases.
