The "OTHER WORMS" That Infect Small Ruminants
While the barber pole worm (Haemonchus contortus) and coccidia (Eimeria spp.) are the primary gastro-intestinal parasites that infect small ruminants, there are many other worm parasites that can infect them and sometimes cause problems, individually or as part of mixed parasitic infections. This fact sheet series will detail these "other worms." Each fact sheet will be written and reviewed by members of the American Consortium for Small Ruminant Parasite Control (ACSRPC), including at least one veterinarian.
