This study was conducted to determine the prevalence and significance of parasites of horses in northern Nigeria. Blood and faecal samples were randomly collected from 243 horses from different stables in some states of northern Nigeria for laboratory analyses. Fifty-seven horses (23.5%) were found infected with parasites. The hemoparasites detected, 21 (8.6%), include Theileria equi, Babesia caballi, Trypanosoma vivax and Trypanosoma evansi. The endoparasites encountered, 29 (11.9%) were Strongylus spp., Strongyloides spp., Oxyuris equi, Parascaris equorum, Paragonimus spp. and Dicrocoelium spp., 3 (1.2%) was Eimeria spp. Four horses (1.6%) had mixed infection of hemo- and endoparasites. This preliminary finding shows that parasitism is a problem in the horse stables examined, and calls for proper stable hygiene, routine tick control and regular deworming programme.
本研究旨在确定尼日利亚北部马匹寄生虫的流行情况及其重要性。从尼日利亚北部一些州的不同马厩中随机采集了243匹马的血液和粪便样本进行实验室分析。发现57匹马（23.5%）感染了寄生虫。检测到的血液寄生虫有21匹（8.6%），包括马泰勒虫、驽巴贝斯虫、活泼锥虫和伊氏锥虫。发现的体内寄生虫有29匹（11.9%），包括圆线虫属、类圆线虫属、马尖尾线虫、马副蛔虫、并殖吸虫属和双腔吸虫属，艾美耳球虫有3匹（1.2%）。4匹马（1.6%）同时感染了血液寄生虫和体内寄生虫。这一初步发现表明，在所检查的马厩中，寄生虫感染是一个问题，需要保持适当的马厩卫生、进行常规蜱虫控制和定期驱虫计划。
