Resumen
El presente trabajo tuvo como objetivo evaluar los parásitos gastrointestinales de equinos procedentes de ocho localidades de la Provincia de Corrientes, Argentina. Mediante técnicas de concentración se examinaron 30 muestras fecales a fin de identificar los helmintos y protozoos, así como estimar la prevalencia general y específica. Se registró una prevalencia general de P=50% y se identificaron cuatro taxones (S=4) representados por dos protozoos, Blastocystis sp (P=3,3%) y Eimeria sp (P=16,6%) y dos nematodes, Strongylus sp (P=13%) y Cyathostomun sp (P=20%). La mayoría de los reportes sobre parásitos en equinos se refieren a nematodes, por lo que el registro de protozoos es un aporte novedoso al conocimiento sobre el tema. Respecto a los nematodes identificados, han sido reportados en diferentes provincias argentinas y los grandes estróngilos representan los de menor prevalencia, mientras que los pequeños estróngilos, género Cyathostomun, los de mayor prevalencia. Los resultados obtenidos acrecientan el conocimiento sobre la temática y ponen en relieve la necesidad de implementar medidas sanitarias a fin de controlar la transmisión y mantener las cargas parasitarias por debajo de niveles que potencialmente afecten la salud, productividad o performance de los equinos.

By means of concentration techniques, 30 fecal samples were examined in order to identify the helminths and protozoa and to estimate the general and specific prevalence. A general prevalence of P=50% and four taxa (S=4), represented by two protozoa, Blastocystis sp (P=3.3%) and Eimeria sp (P=16.6%) and two nematodes, Strongylus sp (P=13%)and Cyathostomun sp (P=20%.), were recorded. Most reports on parasites in equines refer to nematodes, so the registration of protozoa is a novel contribution to knowledge on the subject. Regarding the identified nematodes, they have been reported in different provinces of Argentina and the large strongyls represent the lowest prevalence while the small strongyls, Cyathostomun genus, represent the highest prevalence. Our findings contribute to the knowledge on the subject and highlight the need of the implementation of sanitary measures in order to control transmission, and to keep parasitic loads below levels that potentially affect the health, productivity or performance of horses.
