Summary

Severe cyathostominosis caused the death of young horses in 2002-2003. This summary discusses the equine parasite infection, its pathology, and preventative strategies using anthelmintics.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Pathology
  • Equine Medicine
  • Parasitology

Context:

  • Post-mortem investigations in autumn 2002 and 2003 revealed a pattern of mortality in young horses.
  • The Animal Health Service documented cases of young horses dying or requiring euthanasia due to a specific condition.

Purpose:

  • To detail the aetiology, pathology, and diagnostic methods for severe cyathostominosis in horses.
  • To provide guidance on preventative measures and appropriate anthelmintic usage for managing this equine parasitic infection.

Summary:

  • Cyathostominosis, a disease caused by small strongyle parasites (Cyathostominae), was identified as the primary cause of death in the investigated young horses.
  • The study outlines the disease's origins, the characteristic pathological changes observed, and the diagnostic approaches for identifying the infection.
  • Recommendations are provided for effective control strategies, including the judicious use of anthelmintic drugs.

Impact:

  • Highlights the significant impact of cyathostominosis on equine health, particularly in young horses.
  • Informs veterinary professionals and horse owners about the risks and management of this parasitic disease.
  • Contributes to improved understanding and control of economically important equine gastrointestinal parasites.
