[Prevalence of Rhinoestrus usbekistanicus (Gan 1947) in donkeys (Equus asinus) in Senegal].
A survey performed in Dakar (Senegal) showed, for the first time, the presence of Rhinoestrus usbekistanicus in donkeys in the South of the Sahara desert. Out of the 138 heads examined between November and June, 84% were infected by a mean burden of 15.9 larvae (9.7 L1, 1.8 L2 and 4.1 L3). There is a hypobiotic period starting in March during the dry season.
