Most horses harbour low burdens of these parasites and do not develop signs of infection; however, in a small number of animals, high burdens can accumulate and cause disease. Cyathostomins are associated with a syndrome known as larval cyathostominosis. This occurs when large numbers of larvae emerge from the large intestinal wall. This disease has a case fatality rate of up to 50%. A. perfoliata infection has been associated with various types of colic, with burdens of &gt;20 worms associated with pathogenicity. Anthelmintic resistance is a serious problem in cyathostomins and is emerging in A. perfoliata. Control methods that reduce reliance on anthelmintics now need to be applied, especially as no new dewormer compounds are on the horizon. Sustainable control methods must employ diagnostics to identify horses that require treatment. Coprological tests (faecal egg counts, FECs) have been used for several decades to inform treatment decisions to reduce helminth egg shedding. These tests cannot be used to assess host burdens as FECs do not correlate with cyathostomin or A. perfoliata burdens. In the last decade, new tests have become available that measure parasite-specific antibodies, the levels of which have been shown to correlate with parasite burden. These tests measure antigen-specific IgG(T) and are available in serum (cyathostomin, A. perfoliata) or saliva (A. perfoliata) formats. Tests for other helminths have been developed as research tools and need to be translated to support equine clinicians in practice. A key element of sustainable control strategies is that diagnostics must be used in combination with management approaches to reduce environmental transmission of helminths; this will help limit the proportion of horses harbouring parasite burdens that need to be targeted by treatment. This manuscript provides a review of the development, performance and general utility of various diagnostic methods for informing equine helminth management decisions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/pathogens12101233","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,12]],"date-time":"2023-10-12T03:07:47Z","timestamp":1697080067000},"page":"1233","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["The Use of Innovative Diagnostics to Inform Sustainable Control of Equine Helminth Infections"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Jacqueline B.","family":"Matthews","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Austin Davis Biologics Ltd., Northamptonshire NN14 4BL, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-2485-7591","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Natalia","family":"Peczak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Austin Davis Biologics Ltd., Northamptonshire NN14 4BL, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kirsty L.","family":"Lightbody","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Austin Davis Biologics Ltd., Northamptonshire NN14 4BL, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"310","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijpddr.2014.10.003","article-title":"Anthelmintic resistance in equine nematodes","volume":"4","author":"Matthews","year":"2014","journal-title":"Int.
