  • Title: The occurrence of Oesophagostomum multifoliatum Daubney and Hudson, 1932, in Nigerian cattle.
    Author: Fabiyi JP.
    Journal: J Helminthol; 1978 Dec; 52(4):335-8. PubMed ID: 752055.
    Abstract:
    Oesophagostomum multifoliatum, previously known to occur only in Kenya, Rhodesia and Tanzania, was found on the Jos Plateau of Nigeria in cattle. Of the 120 cattle examined post-mortem, 78 (65%), were found to be infected. The faecal egg, of which only the size was hitherto known, is described and figured; it shows striking similarities to that of Nematodirus. The possibility is expressed that O. multifoliatum might have been mistaken for the more familiar but closely related species O. radiatum and O. columbianum or its egg with that of Nematodirus; it is probable that it is much more widespread than hitherto thought.
