Ten Burchell's zebras were culled in conjunction with the Kruger National Park's game management programme. The colts ranged in age from 9-17 months and the stallions from 2 1/2-23 years. The gastro-intestinal tract and the abdominal cavity were examined for helminths. The principal families of nematodes recovered included the Atractidae, Strongylidae and Spiruridae. The Atractidae included Crossocephalus and Probstmayria; the Strongylidae 2 subfamilies, Cyathostominae and Strongylinae, and the genera of the Cyathostominae were Cyathostomum, Cylicocyclus, Cylicodontophorus, Cylicostephanus, Cylindropharynx and Poteriostomum. Craterostomum, Oesophagodontus, Strongylus and Triodontophorus represent the Strongylinae. The last of the 3 principal families, the Spiruridae, included Draschia and Habronema. Total worm burdens ranged from 0-1 947 474. Despite the fact that the 3 families have life-cycles that differ greatly, their seasonal incidence over the 11-month period showed similar trends.
十匹平原斑马按照克鲁格国家公园的野生动物管理计划被扑杀。这些雄驹年龄在9至17个月之间，种马年龄在2.5至23岁之间。对胃肠道和腹腔进行了蠕虫检查。回收的线虫主要科包括无饰科、圆线科和旋尾科。无饰科包括交叉头属和普罗布斯特迈里亚属；圆线科有2个亚科，即杯口亚科和圆线亚科，杯口亚科的属有杯口属、环形环口属、环形齿口属、环形冠口属、柱咽属和后口属。火山口属、食管齿属、圆线虫属和三齿属代表圆线亚科。三个主要科中的最后一科，旋尾科，包括德拉什属和胃蝇属。蠕虫总负荷量在0至1947474之间。尽管这三个科的生命周期差异很大，但它们在11个月期间的季节性发病率呈现出相似的趋势。
