摘要：
A survey of gastrointestinal parasites (GIP) of small ruminants in southeastern Nigeria shows that strongyliasis (due mainly to Haemonchus spp.) was the most prevalent GIP, followed by coccidia infection. Host species, season, ecological zone, management system and age of the animals influenced occurrence of infection. Significant differences existed for season, management system and ecological zone (P < 0.05). Risk of GIP infection was greater in the wet than dry season and more under nomadism compared with sedentarization. In general, the risk of infection was highest in the forest zone, medium in the savannas and lowest in the mangrove swamp forest.
