[http://drupal.thedonkeysanctuary.org.uk/ The Donkey Sanctuary’s farms], with around 2,500 grazing donkeys, have been free of lungworm for over 20 years. Donkeys entering the Sanctuary with lungworm are isolated for a minimum of six weeks and treated with two doses of ivermectin at normal dose rates three weeks apart.

Since it is reported that lungworm larvae may survive in the subsoil for up to two years, pasture contamination must be considered. Harrowing permanent pasture will reduce larvae and ploughing or crop rotation will eliminate larvae. Grass in hedgerows may, however, become a source of reinfection.
