Strongyles (Red worms)
The strongyles that occur in the horse can be divided on the basis of size into two groups
- Large strongyles
- Strongylus species (3 species; used to be widespread prior to the introduction of worm control programmes; now uncommon)
- Triodontophorus species (common)
- Small strongyles
- Also known as Cyathostomins (preferred term), cyathostomes, trichonemes or small redworms
- Cyathostomins (widespread, including 4 genera and over 40 species of worms)
