Meta-analysis of equine strongyle community structure
Résumé
Grazing horses are infected by a wide range of strongylid species mostly located in the large intestine. Despite their impact on equine health and the emergence of drug resistant isolates, the phenology of these nematodes has been poorly characterized and factors structuring their communities are poorly studied. Methods Using a meta-analysis, we compiled data on 45 equine strongylid species collected worldwide at the regional scale (upon deworming or after necropsy) to analyse their richness, diversity and associated factors of variation.
