Resumo
With the aim of studying the endoparasite fauna of horses from the Formiga city, located in center-west region
of the state of Minas Gerais, 25 animals that were naturally infected with helminths were evaluated. By means of
parasitological necropsies, different endoparasites were found. The subfamily Cyathostominae presented the highest
incidence, followed by Trichostrongylus axei, Oxyuris equi, Triodontophorus serratus, Strongyloides westeri, Strongylus
edentatus, Habronema muscae, Parascaris equorum, Probstmayria vivipara, Strongylus vulgaris, Gasterophilus nasalis,
Anoplocephala magna and Anoplocephala perfoliata. In the present study, if the species Probstmayria vivipara was not
considered in the prevalence, the frequency of Cyathostominae was equivalent to 94.85%. The results obtained in this
study allowed us to detect and identify different species of helminths in horses, and confirmed the high incidence of
nematodes belonging to the subfamily Cyathostominae in the center-west region of Minas Gerais.
