Abstract :
Background: Cyathostomins comprise 50 helminth species, considered the most problematic equine endoparasites. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to assess the working donkeys living characteristics associated with helminthes infections in wet season in Qubaish locality, Western Kurdufan State of Sudan. Methodology: This is a retrospective cross sectional study conducted in Western Sudan to assess the epidemiologic burden of parasitic infections among donkeys. The study included 31 infected working donkeys. Results: The great proportion of the infected animals were found infected with Trichonema (Cyathostomins) followed by mixed infection, Strongylus, Dictyocaulus and Oxyuris, constituting 38.7%, 32.3%, 22.6%, 3.2%, and 3.2%, respectively. Conclusion: Trichonema (Cyathostomins) and Strongylus infections were found to be highly prevalent in working donkeys of West Kurdufan State. The housing conditions, feeding system as well as, waste disposal systems should be amended to reduce the chance of parasitic infection.
