The helminth fauna of 24 kulans from Askaniya-Nova and Badkhyz was studied. 42 species of helminths were found, 34 of which belong to strongylids. The helminth species composition of kulan is similar to that of other species of horses. This is a result of an intensive parasite exchange in the historical past when numerous populations of different Equidae species made long seasonal migrations over steppe inter-river lands of Asia and grazed for some time on common pastures.
对来自阿斯卡尼亚-诺瓦和巴德希兹的24匹野马的蠕虫区系进行了研究。发现了42种蠕虫,其中34种属于圆线虫。野马的蠕虫种类组成与其他马种相似。这是历史上寄生虫大量交换的结果,当时不同马科动物的众多种群在亚洲草原河间地带进行漫长的季节性迁徙,并在共同的牧场上放牧一段时间。
