  • In the horse.
  • Small strongyles - Cyathostomins
  • L3 to L4 development in nodules in mucosa/submucosa of caecum and colon
    • Can cause diarrhoea if mass emergence.

Pathology

Gross

  • Encysted larvae appear as pinhead grey to red mucosal nodules.
  • Mass emergence results in:
    • Mucosal erosions.
  • Ulcers.
  • Fibrinous exudates.
  • Haemorrhage.

Histopathology

  • Larvae in deep mucosa/sumucosa surrounded by fibrous capsule and mixed inflammatory cells.
  • Intense eosinophil, neutrophil and macrophage infiltration when larvae emerge
    • May also be oedema and, if severe, mucosal ulceration.
