    Author: Lyons ET, Tolliver SC, Drudge JH, Swerczek TW, Crowe MW.
    Journal: Am J Vet Res; 1985 Apr; 46(4):924-7. PubMed ID: 4040343.
    Abstract:
    Prevalence of natural infections of parasites from the lungs of 488 dead Thoroughbreds in Kentucky was investigated. The horses varied from 1 to 32 years of age; 419 horses were from 215 farms and 69 horses were from 68 individual sources for which a specific farm was not identified. Examinations of the lungs were made from Mar 1, 1983 through Feb 29, 1984. Dictyocaulus arnfieldi was recovered from 56 (11%) of the horses. Other parasites found were larvae of Parascaris equorum in 37 (8%) and of Habronema/Draschia in 67 (14%) of the horses. The possible effect of ivermectin treatment on the prevalence of D arnfieldi in the lungs is discussed. Presence of D arnfieldi in 20 other selected dead equids was also investigated.
