title: [Occurrence of Parascaris equorum in foals and adult horses under different breeding conditions].
abstract: Autopsies and analyses of faecal samples from working horses have shown common occurrence of ascarids in foals, whereas 19.6% of adult horses have been found infected. No influence of season on EPG in adult horses has been found. Study based on faecal samples from stud horses has shown that 5-6-month old animals were most susceptible to the infection. 50% of foals have been found infected in spite of deworming with the use of bezimidazole compounds. It has been stated that the proper dose of an anthelminthic is a basic problem in the control of ascarids.
