Abstract
A survey of the prevalence of A noplocephala perfoliata in 65 horses is described. An overall prevalence rate of 82% was found for A. perfoliata infection and 77% of infected horses exhibited ulcerative pathology in the ileo-caecal region directly associated with this parasite. Anoplocephela magna and Paranoplocephala mamillana were not recovered.
