#1 - Factors associated with the prevalence of helminths in Mangalarga Marchador horses in southern of Minas Gerais, Brazil
Abstract in English:
Horses are highly susceptible to parasitism. Helminth infections cause great harm to the animals and to their breeders. This study aimed at evaluating socioeconomic, cultural and management factors associated with the prevalence of gastrointestinal helminths of horses. A total of 40 farmas the Mangalarga Marchador horse breed were visited in southern Minas Gerais, Brazil, where interviews were conducted. Horse feces were collected on the farms and coproparasitological laboratory tests were conducted to quantify the infection and to identify parasites. Data were tabulated in Epidata and analyzed using the SPSS 20.0 software. A great similarity between breeds was observed, specifically in their profiles, as well as in their animal management techniques and in their parasite control habits. The cyathostome was the most prevalent helminth, followed by Oxyuris and large strongyles. The farms which prioritize only equine production are less likely to have animals with massive helminth infection.
Abstract in Portuguese:
Os equinos são animais muito susceptíveis ao parasitismo. As helmintoses causam grandes prejuízos tanto para os animais, quanto para os criadores. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar os fatores sócio-econômicos-culturais e de manejo associados à prevalência de helmintos gastrointestinais de equinos. Foram visitados 40 criatórios de equinos Mangalarga Marchador no Sul de Minas Gerais, nos quais foram realizadas entrevistas. Foram coletadas fezes dos animais nas propriedades e realizados exames laboratoriais coproparasitológicos a fim de quantificar a infecção dos animais e identificar os parasitos. Os dados foram tabulados no Epidata e analisados no software SPSS 20.0. Observou-se uma grande semelhança no perfil dos criadores, assim como na caracterização da propriedade, manejo e controle de parasitos. Os ciatostomíneos foram os helmintos mais prevalentes, seguidos pelo Oxyuris e os grandes estrôngilos. As propriedades que priorizam a equinocultura têm menor chance de apresentar animais com infecção maciça.

Five cases of granulomatous enteritis associated with cyathostomes are described in horses from three farms in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The cases occurred from January 1999 to December 2007. The clinical course in two cases in which clinical follow-up was available was 10-14 days. Clinical signs presented by two horses were similar and included diarrhea (3/3), weight loss (2/3), pyrexia (1/3), tachycardia (1/3), and tachypnea (1/3). Gross changes consisted of thickening of the wall of large colon and cecum by edema and the occurrence of numerous 1-4mm, dark-tan, slightly raised multifocal pinpoints disseminated throughout the mucosa. Up on the incision of these pinpoints, brown-reddish, small (1-2mm) nematode larvae emerged. Large numbers of parasites with morphology compatible with small strongyles were observed in the lumina of large colon and cecum or adhered to the mucosae of these organs. Histologically, multiple granulomas were seen in the mucosa and submucosa of large colon and cecum. These granulomas consisted of moderate to severe inflammatory infiltrate of macrophages, epithelioid macrophages, and eosinophils surrounded by fewer lymphocytes and plasma cells. In the center of these granulomas, transversal cut sections of parasites with morphology compatible with cyathostomes larvae were observed. Additionally, there was edema and moderate to marked lymphohistioplasmacytic and eosinophilic inflammatory infiltrate throughout the mucosa and submucosa of the large colon and cecum; necrosis and lymphohistiocytic proliferation in the submucosal lymphoid follicles, with hyperplasia of goblet cells in the epithelial lining of these organs were also observed. The diagnosis of granulomatous enteritis associated with larval cyathostomiasis was made based on epidemiological, clinical, and gross findings which were confirmed by histopathology.
