The strongyles that occur in the horse can be divided on the basis of size into two groups
 
*[[Large Strongyles|'''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)
