The small strongyles also called as cyathostomes, cyathostomins or trichonemes, affect the health status of equines, leading to morbidity and mortality in heavily infested individuals. The present study was carried out with the aim to identify the cause of colic in a mule of Palam valley, Himachal Pradesh, India. The detailed faecal sample examination revealed heavy intensity of strongyle eggs with an egg per gram value of 2300. The collected faecal sample also exhibited presence of adult worms. The morphological observations after clearing the retrieved parasites revealed the presence of adults of species. The haematological and serum biochemical studies revealed alterations related to parasitic invasion. Fenbendazole used for the treatment proved completely effective. To the best of our knowledge and thorough literature search this is the first report of infestation in equines of India.
小型圆线虫也被称为杯口线虫、杯口亚属线虫或毛圆线虫，会影响马属动物的健康状况，在感染严重的个体中会导致发病和死亡。本研究旨在确定印度喜马偕尔邦帕拉姆山谷一匹骡子患绞痛的原因。详细的粪便样本检查显示，圆线虫卵的感染强度很高，每克粪便中虫卵数量为2300个。采集的粪便样本中还发现了成虫。对采集到的寄生虫进行清理后的形态学观察显示存在多种成虫。血液学和血清生化研究揭示了与寄生虫感染相关的变化。用于治疗的芬苯达唑被证明完全有效。据我们所知并经过全面的文献检索，这是印度马属动物感染该病的首次报告。
