Strongylid Parasites of Horses in the Punjab

Abstract

Although some of the earliest work on the Strongylid parasites of horses was done by Giles in India in 1892, the subject has been almost completely neglected in this country since that date; even the comparatively recent list of Indian parasites compiled by Gaiger (1910) makes no attempt to differentiate the numerous Nematodes which had been confused under the names Sclerostomum equinum and S. tetracanthum until the appearance of Looss' famous monograph in 1902.
