A total of 118 horses was examined at necropsy in central Kentucky for the tapeworm Anoplocephala perfoliata. The examination period was between 28 August and 21 December 1992. Prevalence was 64% for Thoroughbreds (n = 81 examined) and 54% for non-Thoroughbreds (n = 37 examined). The number of tapeworms per infected horse varied from one to 853. Data on infections are categorized by breed, sex (n = 38 males, 8 geldings, and 72 females), age (1-31 years), and month of necropsy of the horses.
