The aim of the study was to compare the intensity of fly invasions during the grazing period in two breeds of young cattle. Studies were carried out on 26 2-year old heifers of Polish Red and 25 of Black-and-White Lowland breed. Flies were counted every day, for 6 days in July, on grazing animals between 12-13 pm. within 15 s. at angles in both eyes, on the nose, cheek, neck, side as well as on foreleg and hind leg. Flies particularly attacked the cattle during windless and hot days. The number of insects on the heifers depended both on body region and breed of cattle. House flies, and some species of grazing flies, mostly gathered in the angles of the eyes and nose. A lot of flies occurred also on the heifer’s sides, mainly in the case of Polish Red, and the majority of these flies were Stomoxys type. In heifers of Polish Red breed, the average number of insects in the examined regions was 15.3-27.8% lower than in Black-and-White. The explanation for this phenomenon may be related to the color of coat, which does not heat up as much as in Black-and-White, or the attractiveness of tears and mucus of Polish Red.

A survey to determine current prevalence and intensity of bot fly (Gasterophilus spp). infection in horses at necropsy was conducted on material taken from a slaughterhouse in S³omniki near Krakow from January to April 2005. 83 untreated horses: one-year old foals (n=22) and adult horses (n=61) from small farms from southern Poland were examined. Third level instars of Gasterophilus intestinalis were found in the stomachs of 7 horses (8.4%), and the intensity of infection was from 1 to 180 larvae (a mean of 69.7). Parasites were found in 6 of the 58 mares (10.3%) and 1 of the 25 stallions (and geldings) (4.0%). Foals were not infected. Gasterophilosis in horses from small farms kept mainly under houses system or limited pasture occurs quite rarely.

The aim of the study was to assess strongylus invasions in mares during the first three months of pregnancy. Studies were carried out on 11 mares naturally infected with strongyles and divided into 3 groups: I - mares following 1-2 deliveries, II - 3-6 deliveries, and III - 9-10 deliveries. Each group was additionally subdivided into 2 subgroups: A included mares which had bred mare foals and B - mares which had bred stallion foals. Samples of excrement were collected during the following periods: 7 days before delivery and next at weekly intervals up to day 63, and then every two weeks up to day 115 following the delivery date. The intensity of strongyles invasions in the mares was directly related to the postnatal period, number of deliveries and even the sex of the foals. Analyzing the course of the strongyles invasion indicated that the greatest number of eggs were contained in the excrement on day 21 post delivery in the all the groups of mares breeding mare foals whereas a significant decrease in the amount of eggs was noted in mares breeding stallion foals on that day, and it only significantly increased on day 28. During the following gestations the intensity of the strongyles invasion was reduced up to day 42 in group A of the mares and day 49 in group B. A gradual increase in the number of eggs was observed up until day 77 e.g. there were 1000 eggs in group A on day 115 following delivery, and 796 in group B. Hormones produced in the estrus period and early pregnancy seem to affect the progress of Strongylidae invasions in mares.

The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence and intensity of gastrointestinal parasites in horses from various management systems. The study included 296 horses of different breeds and ages (from 6 months to 20 years), of both sexes, coming from various management systems: group 1 – horses using natural pastures, group 2 – horses pastured on field pastures created by man, group 3 – horses using sand areas. Faeces samples were collected directly from the rectum 1–2 days before worming. Each sample was examined macro- and microscopically (McMaster method). The number of oocysts/eggs per gram of faeces (OPG/EPG) and parasite abundance (average representation of parasites in relation to all animals). The results were subjected to statistical analysis using the Kruskal-Wallis test. Total prevalence of parasites in all groups was 66.89%: E. leucarti 0.68%; Anoplocephalidae 4.73%, P.equorum 9.46% and Strongylidae 64.19%. Total prevalence per group was the following: 1 – 57.43%; 2 – 26.69%; 3 – 6.38%. In all management systems, the dominating parasites belonged to Cyathostominae (group 1 – 77.65%, group 2 – 70.89%, group 3 – 4.25%). The prevalences of P. equorum, Anoplocephalidae, E. leucarti in each group were as follows: group 1 – 10.59; 3.53; 0.59%; group 2 – 11.39; 10.13; 1.27%; group 3 – 2.13; 0; 0%.The average intensities of Strongylildae, P. equorum, Anaplocephalidae and E. leucarti in groups were as follows: group 1 – 606.44; 519.44; 50; 50; group 2 – 472.32; 261.11; 62.5; 50; group 3 – 1150; 450; 0; 0. On the other hand, the average abundances in each group were the following: group 1 – 473.67; 55; 1.76; 0.29; group 2 – 334.81; 29.75; 6.33; 0.63; group 3 – 48.94; 9.57; 0; 0. The statistical analysis did not reveal statistically significant differences between the management system and invasion intensity. However, the analysis, taking into consideration a correlation between the management system and abundance, revealed statistically significant differences. The differences were observed between groups 1 and 3 (pi = 0.0000001) and between groups 2 and 3 (pi = 0.0000001).

One problem underestimated by veterinarians and farmers in horses is diptera Hippobosca equina, a blood-sucking insect that annoys horses and causes skin injuries. The aim of the presented studies was to estimate the extensiveness and intensity of Hippobosca equina invasion in primitive Polish horses during the grazing period. Studies were carried out from July to October on 15 mares, 10 sucking foals, as well as on 15 young stallions and 13 young mares. Insects were counted in all animals once in mid June, then daily from July 24 to 29, next on August 16, September 20 and October 25. In July the presence of Hippobosca equina was not found in mares and sucking foals, but in young horses the invasion occurred in more than 53% of stallions and about 76% of mares. Daily examinations in July showed the presence of diptera in all groups, but not in all animals. The maximum invasion extensiveness in mares (80%) occurred July 28, while in foals July 26 (90%) and August 16 (70%). In 1.5-year-old mares and stallions H. equina occurred in July and lasted up to September. The greatest number of insects (up to 11) was found July 29 in one stallion and July 25, 27 and 29 in mares (up to 29). The extensiveness of invasion in young stallions in the early part of the summer fluctuated between 53.3% (June) and 93.3% (July 27) and decreased in September to about 27%, while in young mares it was more than 92% in July and August and 30.8% in September. Hippobosca. equina did not occur in October in 1.5-year-old horses.

Research concerning the distribution as well as intensity of Trichinella larvae in the bodies of hosts is crucial from the perspective of the invasionology and diagnostics of Trichinellosis. Diagnosing Trichinella spiralis is dependent on the following factors: intensity of Trichinella spiralis invasion in the muscles, the weight of the material, the specific types of muscles, animal species, as well as the method of testing for Trichinellosis presence. The goal of the authors’ study was determining the distribution and intensity of Trichinella spiralis larvae invasion in selected rabbit muscles experimentally infected with a small dose of Trichinella. The investigations were conducted on 8 healthy slaughter rabbits that weighed 5 kg. The rabbits were infected with a single dose of 90 Trichinella spiralis muscle invasive larvae derived from a boar. The rabbits were slaughtered 60 days after infection. Select entire muscles from the left and right sides of the carcasses were chosen for investigation. From rabbit the following muscles were tested for Trichinellosis presence: Diaphragma (part: lumbalis, costalis, sternalis), m. masseter, antebrachii, tongue, m. biceps brachii, pterygoideus, cruris, mm. intercostales, m. semitendinosus and semimembranosus, as well as m. longissimus lumborum. The distribution as well as intensity of the T. spiralis larvae invasion (trichinellosis count per 1 g of muscle, as well as percentage in relation to the diaphragm = 100%) in the investigated muscles was determined by the digested method according to Commission Directive (WE) no. 2075 as of December 5, 2005. All the rabbits used in the experiment were infected: encysted T. spiralis larvae were confirmed in all the examined muscles. The results of the conducted investigations showed statistically significant differences in the T. spiralis invasion of specific muscles. The greatest trichinellosis larvae invasion occurred in the m. masseter, antebrachii and in the diaphragm. The intensity of the T. spiralis invasion in the examined muscles was 18.92 to 1.20 per 1 g of muscle and was from 1.08 to 17.13 times less than the trichinellosis invasion in the m. masseter. These results indicate the high suitability of the m. masseter for investigating the presence of trichinellosis in rabbits. Rabbits are susceptible to T. spiralis infection. The trichinellosis larvae undergo encystment in their muscles. The muscle tissue of all rabbits infected with T. spiralis was brought on by rat trichinellosis.

The studies were carried out during the period April 1982 - July 1984. The statistical analysis of the dependence between the temperature and the intensity of occurrence of 4 species of the genus Dactylogyrus in bream (Abramis brama L.) was made in two variants (tab. 1, 2). In both cascs correlation coefficients between the variables, as well as regression coefficients, estimating the linear dependence according to the equation: y = a±bx (cf. fig. 1a-d). The correlation coefficient was verified using the t Student test. The statistical analysis has not revealed any statistically significant dependence between mean month temperatures during the whole investigation period, and the intensity of occurrence of particular of the genus Dactylogyrus species. However, a highly significant (+ +) and significant (+) correlation has been found between the temperature differences in consecutive months of investigations, and the intensity of occurrence of particular species. This confirms the previous suggestion that the studied species of the genus Dactylogyrus react to the temperature changes in the environment. In agreement with calculated coefficients, the higher the temperature difference within a short period, the greater the changes of the density in the population. The density of all the species was the highest in March when the temperature increased by ca. 4°C within a month, and the lowest in October or November at the temperature decrease by ca. 4.5°C. It can be assumed that a rapid temperature increase enhances the reproductive activity of the parasites and their expansion to the hosts, white a rapid decrease inhibits their reproduction and possibly increases also the mortality of adult individuals.

Examination of Varroa infestation is important for the diagnosis and evaluation of the efficacy of methods and substances used for the control of varroasis. The aim of the study was to estimate the accuracy of the method of examining samples of adult bees to determine the Varroa rate of infestation in the colony. The experiment was carried out on 10 bee colonies. From each of them 7-8 samples of 200-300 adult bees were taken by chance and examined. Bees and Varroa mites in the sample were counted. The mean rate of infestation, standard deviation and coefficient of variation were calculated for each colony and for the method. The obtained results show that especially in colonies highly infested with mites the results of the rate of Varroa infestation are quite varied. By the used method the mean error of the examination of Varroa infestation was 28.8%. The examination of single samples of 200-300 adult bees is not precise and the results should be taken as an approximation.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the distribution of intestinal protozoa Cryptosporidium spp. and Giardia spp. among the sled dogs taking part in an international competition during the Dryland World Championship IFSS, in Lubliniec, Poland, April 2005. Fecal samples (n = 80) were collected during the race and during two time periods: 2-4 weeks and 6-8 weeks after the race. The immunofluorescent assay (IFA) MerIFluor Cryptosporidium/Giardia was used for the detection of parasite dispersal stages in condensed samples. The influence of a range of factors on the prevalence and the intensity of cyst/oocyst production was estimated. Giardia spp. infections were identified in four studied countries with overall prevalence of 36%. Cryptosporidium oocysts were detected in samples from 2 of 4 countries with an overall prevalence of 12.5%. For both intestinal protozoa an identical dynamics of infection was noted, with the peak in prevalence and cyst/ oocyst production 2-4 weeks after WC, which supports the hypothesis of the enhanced risk of parasite transmission during the race. The number of dogs in kennels, dog sex, and age affected the Giardia infections in sled dogs. The prevalence or intensity of cyst production were higher in kennels with more than 10 dogs, in males compared to females, and in young (<2 years old) dogs. Cryptosporidium infections were more common among males and young dogs, and the prevalence was low among Husky breeds. The co-infections with both parasites were common and the presence of Giardia or Cryptosporidium infection was significantly connected with the presence of diarrhea in dogs. Consequently, it seems that protozoan infections may affect the physical condition and performance of sled dogs and contribute to zoonotic diseases in dog owners.

Ceprologic examination of representatives of 9 monkey species carried out in the Wrocław Zoo revealed the folloving intestinal parasittes: Trichocephalus trichiurus, Strongyloides stercoralis, Nematodirus weinbergi, Ascaris lumbricoides, Enterobius vermicularis and Capillariidae gen. sp. The total extensity of infection was 80%, however intensity was rather low, except for E. vermicularis found in chimpanzees. It seems, that nematoda present the most important problem in control of parasitic infection in zoological gardens.
