  • Title: Helminths of sheep and goats in desert areas of south-west Mauritania (Trarza).
    Author: Jacquiet P, Cabaret J, Colas F, Dia ML, Cheikh D, Thiam A.
    Journal: Vet Res Commun; 1992; 16(6):437-44. PubMed ID: 1295205.
    Abstract:
    Faecal samples were obtained from sheep and goats before, during and after the rainy season at three locations in south-west Mauritania. Several animals were also necropsied at the same time. Haemonchus contortus was the most prevalent worm. Infection by digestive-tract strongyles and Strongyloides papillosus was always very light (prevalence less than 20%). Sheep were more heavily infected than goats but animals under 1 year of age were not infected by digestive-tract strongyles. It is likely that young small ruminants became infected during the rainy season and that the parasites so acquired are inhibited in their development and/or survive nearly one year as adults.
