Abstract
in English, French

From 1991 to 2003, 24 cases of larval cyathostominosis were diagnosed at postmortem in equids, 15 (63%) from 2001 to 2003. Cases occurred from September to May, the majority from October to December. Median age was 12 mo. Diarrhea, colic, and weight loss were common clinical signs. Hypoalbuminemia and microcytosis were consistent findings.

De 1991 à 2003, 24 cas de cyathostominose larvaire ont été diagnostiqués à l’examen post mortem chez des équidés dont 15 (63 %) entre 2001 et 2003. Les cas étaient rapportés entre septembre et mai, le pic survenant entre octobre et décembre. L’âge médian était de 12 mois. Les principaux signes cliniques consistaient en diarrhée, colique et perte de poids alors que l’hypoalbuminémie et la microcytose étaient des trouvailles constantes.
