Egg types of strongyles, <jats:italic>Strongyloides, Trichuris, Skrjabinema, Dicrocoelium<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Moniezia<\/jats:italic> were encountered in 93%, 83%, 44%, 0.9%, 2.3% and 31% of the faecal samples respectively. However, only strongyle, <jats:italic>Strongyloides<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Trichuris<\/jats:italic> eggs occurred in large numbers and were more common during the rainy season than in the dry season. The parasites recorded and their prevalences were <jats:italic>Haemonchus contortus<\/jats:italic> (90.0%), <jats:italic>H. ovis<\/jats:italic> (5.0%), <jats:italic>Strongyloides papillosus<\/jats:italic> (80.8%), <jats:italic>Trichostrongylus colubriformis<\/jats:italic> (78.3%), T. <jats:italic>axei<\/jats:italic> (69.2%), <jats:italic>Trichuris ovis<\/jats:italic> (72.5%), T. <jats:italic>globulosa<\/jats:italic> (38.3%), <jats:italic>Oesophagostomum columbianum (67.5%), Cooperia curticei<\/jats:italic> (58.3%) <jats:italic>Gaigeria pachyscelis<\/jats:italic> (40.8%), <jats:italic>Skrjabinema ovis<\/jats:italic> (5.0%), <jats:italic>Nematodirus battus<\/jats:italic> (5.8%), <jats:italic>Moniezia expansa<\/jats:italic> (29.2%), <jats:italic>M. benedeni<\/jats:italic> (10.0%), <jats:italic>Paramphistomum<\/jats:italic> spp. (5.0%) and <jats:italic>Cysticercus tenuicollis<\/jats:italic> (33.3%). <jats:italic>Haemonchus ovis<\/jats:italic> is reported for the first time in Nigeria. Mixed infections were most prevalent. Young goats were more commonly infected and had higher worm counts than adult goats. Only <jats:italic>Haemonchus, Trichostrongylus, Strongyloides<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Cooperia<\/jats:italic> spp. occurred in large numbers. Irrespective of the age of the goats, higher worm counts were generally encountered during the rainy season than in the dry season. The results are discussed in relation to the control of helminthiasis in grazing animals in Nigeria.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0022149x00015625","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,6,5]],"date-time":"2009-06-05T11:01:52Z","timestamp":1244199712000},"page":"329-333","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":35,"title":["Prevalence and seasonal changes in the gastro-intestinal helminths of Nigerian goats"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"70","author":[{"given":"C.O.","family":"Nwosu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.F.","family":"Ogunrinade","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"B.O.","family":"Fagbemi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,6,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0022149X00015625_ref012","volume-title":"Helminths, arthropods and protozoa of domesticated animals","author":"Soulsby","year":"1982"},{"key":"S0022149X00015625_ref010","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02282596"},{"key":"S0022149X00015625_ref009","volume-title":"The epidemiology, diagnosis and control of gastro-intestinal parasites of ruminants in Africa","author":"Hansen","year":"1990"},{"key":"S0022149X00015625_ref007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/vr.105.17.399"},{"key":"S0022149X00015625_ref006","first-page":"29","article-title":"An investigation into the incidence of goat helminth parasites in the Zaria area of Nigeria","volume":"18","author":"Fabiyi","year":"1970","journal-title":"Bulletin of Epizootic Diseases in Africa"},{"key":"S0022149X00015625_ref005","volume-title":"Goat production in the tropics","author":"Devendra","year":"1983"},{"key":"S0022149X00015625_ref004","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0020-7519(83)80027-7"},{"key":"S0022149X00015625_ref003","first-page":"413","article-title":"The epizootiology and control of parasitic gastro-enteritis of domesticated ruminants in Nigeria","volume":"55","author":"Chiejina","year":"1986","journal-title":"Helminthological Abstracts"},{"key":"S0022149X00015625_ref001","first-page":"216","article-title":"Gastro-intestinal parasites of farm animals in Eastern Nigeria","volume":"212","author":"Adams","year":"1966","journal-title":"Veterinary Record"},{"key":"S0022149X00015625_ref011","unstructured":"Okon E.D.
