Abstract

Thirteen of 25 Tokara ponies pastured at Nakanoshima island in Kagoshima Prefecture died trom J July to September, 1994. A large number of nematode worms and eggs were detected from the caecum or colon of dead cases and from feces of surviving cases, respectively. All the nematodes detected were small round worms of subfamily Cyathostominae, belonging to 3 genera and 9 species. The surveys of the numbers of eggs per gram feces (EPG), and infective larvae adhered to grasses and the local climate revealed that the numbers of EPG and infective larvae increased with the rise of temperature, while they seemed not to be related to the rainfall throughout the year.
