Abstract

Parascaris equorum is a species of the Ascarididae family which belongs to the phylum nematoda (roundworms) and is a type of parasite that affects equine health, performance, and production. The current study was carried out from April to August 2021 to determine the prevalence of equine Parascaris equorum in horses residing in Payakumbuh City, Indonesia. A total number of 128 fecal samples from horses were examined in the current study. Coprological examination was performed for the detection of Parascaris equorum eggs inside the amassed samples. The overall occurrence of Parascaris equorum was 14.06% (18 out of 128). The prevalence rates of sub-districts differed with the highest in East at 18.18% (8/44), followed by North, South, and West at 16.66% (6/36), 14.06% (2/22), and 7.7% (2/26), respectively. The obtained results indicated a significant difference in the prevalence rate of Parascaris equorum between males and females as well as those horses aged < 5 years (26.22%) and > 5 years (3%). Therefore, it is critical to not only enhance horse health management, maintenance, and health but also to provide anti-parasitic medications on a regular basis.

印度尼西亚西苏门答腊岛Payakumbuh市马的马副卡里斯

马寄生虫是蛔虫科的一种，属于线虫门(蛔虫)，是一种影响马健康、性能和生产的寄生虫。目前的研究是在2021年4月至8月期间进行的，目的是确定居住在印度尼西亚Payakumbuh市的马中马副蛔虫的流行情况。本研究共检测了128个马粪便样本。对收集的样本进行了粪学检查，以检测马副蛔虫卵。马副蛔虫总发生率为14.06%(18只/ 128只)。各区患病率差异较大，东部最高，为18.18%(8/44)，其次是北部、南部和西部，分别为16.66%(6/36)、14.06%(2/22)和7.7%(2/26)。结果表明，马副蛔虫的患病率在公、母马之间、5岁以下马(26.22%)和5岁以下马(3%)之间存在显著差异。因此，不仅要加强马的健康管理、维护和健康，而且要定期提供抗寄生虫药物治疗。
