Abstract：
The objectives of the present study were: (a) to describe the prevalence of helminth infections from pooled faecal samples from goat herds across Greece, (b) to evaluate herd-related factors potentially associated with the presence of these infections in the herds and (c) to compare the findings to those of a previous relevant study performed in sheep flocks. A cross-sectional study was carried out in 119 goat herds around Greece. Helminths were recovered from samples from 93.3% of herds: Dicrocoelium dendriticum (from 15.1% of herds), Paramphistomum cervi (from 0.8% of herds), Moniezia spp. (from 25.2% of herds), Trichostrongylidae (from 89.1% of herds), Nematodirus spp. (from 16.8% of herds), Strongyloides papillosus (from 5.0% of herds), Trichuris spp. (from 18.5% of herds) and lungworms (from 23.5% of herds). Mean epg counts in all herds in the study were 219 epg. In multivariable analyses, for \'high (> 300) epg counts in faecal samples\' the age of kid removal from their dams (p = 0.045) was found to be a significant factor, for \'high proportion (> 64%) of Teladorsagia spp. in faecal samples\' the month of the start of the kidding season (p = 0.045) was a significant factor, for \'high proportion (> 27%) of Haemonchus contortus in faecal samples\' nutritional modifications during gestation (p = 0.002) and application of reproductive control practices in the farm (p = 0.013) were the significant factors and for \'presence of D. dendriticum in faecal samples\' the number of veterinary visits to the farm annually (p = 0.040) was found to be significant.
摘要：
本研究的目的是：（a）描述希腊山羊群的粪便样本中蠕虫感染的患病率，（b）评估与牧群中这些感染的存在潜在相关的牧群相关因素，以及（c）将结果与先前在绵羊群中进行的相关研究的结果进行比较。对希腊各地的119只羊群进行了横断面研究。从93.3％的牛群的样品中回收了蠕虫：树枝状二球菌（来自15.1％的牛群），两栖动物(来自0.8%的牛群)，Monieziaspp.(来自25.2%的牛群)，毛线菌(来自89.1%的牛群)，线虫属。(来自16.8%的牛群)，乳头类圆线虫（来自5.0％的牛群），毛虫属。（来自18.5％的牛群）和肺虫（来自23.5％的牛群）。研究中所有牛群的平均epg计数为219epg。在多变量分析中，对于粪便样本中的高（>300）epg计数，发现从水坝中取出孩子的年龄（p=0.045）是一个重要因素，高比例(>64%)的Teladorsagiaspp。在粪便样本中，开玩笑季节开始的月份(p=0.045)是一个重要因素，对于“粪便样本中高比例（>27％）的扭曲血杆菌，妊娠期间的营养修饰（p=0.002）和农场中生殖控制实践的应用（p=0.013）是重要因素，并且“粪便样本中存在D.dendrendicum”，发现每年对农场的兽医访问次数（p=0.040）很重要。
