    Area of Science:

    • Equine parasitology
    • Veterinary medicine
    • Animal health

    Background:

    • Parascaris equorum (P. equorum) is a widespread equine roundworm.
    • Infections are common in foals, persisting despite hygiene and deworming.
    • P. equorum poses significant health risks, including mortality, due to intestinal impaction.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the clinical significance of P. equorum in foals.
    • To describe the life cycle and pathogenicity of P. equorum.
    • To emphasize effective preventive strategies against P. equorum.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical observations of P. equorum infection in foals.
    • Monitoring of parasite life cycle and patency.
    • Evaluation of anthelmintic control programs.

    Main Results:

    • Foals infected early develop clinical signs like coughing and unthriftiness.
    • High fecal egg counts observed around 3 months of age.
    • Immunity develops by 6 months, reducing worm burden in mature horses.

    Conclusions:

    • P. equorum infections require consistent management in foals.
    • A 6-weekly anthelmintic dosing regimen is recommended for prevention.
    • Effective control prevents severe intestinal disease and mortality in young horses.
