Abstract

Strongylus vulgaris was common in equine during the past few decades So far, routine daily uses of anthelmintic causing resistant and more shedding. So, asymptomatic cases of internal nematodes causing environmental contamination by excretion more eggs and worms. Apparently goal of our study, comparative test for real time PCR with larva culture techniques and prevalence of this parasite in American horses Current studies done in 110 horses were diagnosed for nematodes with molecular assay and compared with regular microscopic exam, out of them 26 horses went through routine examination for comparison and detection continues shedding of egg for variability efficacy for both diagnostic assay.
