Overview

Cross-sectional study estimates H. contortus prevalence at 66.9% in small ruminants, highlighting significant risk factors tied to species and management.

Key Points

  • H. contortus is prevalent in Bishoftu, causing significant economic losses in shoats.
  • The overall prevalence of H. contortus infection was 66.9%, significantly higher in sheep than goats.
  • Significant risk factors include management, age, sex, and species of small ruminants.
  • Implementation of targeted deworming strategies is crucial to control H. contortus infections effectively.
