Abstract

Members of the subfamily Cyathostominae, also known as cyathostomins or “small strongyles”. These are composed of a group of 50 species that can parasite horses, and are considered the most prevalent and resistant to anthelmintics parasites in young and adult horses. Cyathostomins may be compromised to produce a diet, forming nodules in experimental gastroenteritis. In addition, could cause larval cyathostominosis, a clinical syndrome associated with a massive emergency of encysted larvae. The control of these parasites is done through the administration of anthelmintics, but is frequent the occurrence of resistance. In order to obtain an effective anthelmintic control, it is essential the coproparasitological and veterinary monitoring, with periodic effectiveness tests, so that adequate control strategies can be established for each property.
