  • Title: Effects of Onthophagus gazella F (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) on free-living strongyloids of equids.
    Author: Houston RS, Craig TM, Fincher GT.
    Journal: Am J Vet Res; 1984 Mar; 45(3):572-4. PubMed ID: 6711987.
    Abstract:
    Effects on the recently introduced dung-burying beetle, Onthophagus gazella F, on free-living stages of equine strongyles were determined on a Texas pasture. Two populations of O gazella (22 and 44 pairs) were exposed to 1-kg deposits of equine dung containing 545,000 strongyle eggs for 31 days near the end of the beetle's activity season. Weekly dung and pasture samples were taken from these plots and from control plots from which beetles were excluded to recover developing larvae. Significant differences did not occur among the 3 treatments (P less than 0.05).
