    A study examined 227 water buffaloes at a ranch in the Philippines for gastrointestinal nematode infections during the wet season. Fecal samples from each buffalo were collected and examined using centrifugal floatation and larval culture methods. The most common nematodes identified were Neoascaris vitulorum, strongyloides spp., Strongylus spp., Trichuris spp., Cooperia spp., Haemonchus spp., and Trichostrongylus spp. Infection rates peaked in October. The study found that N. vitulorum and strongyloides infections decreased with age, while Strongylus infections increased with age and had the highest prevalence overall.

    A study on
    the prevalence and identification of gastrointestinal nematodes affecting water
    buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) during wet season at PCRDC-CLSU Ranch. Abstracts of
    Completed Researches, 1987-1992. PCRDC at CLSU, Muñoz, Nueva Ecija.

    Two hundred twenty-seven (227) water buffaloes from the ranch were examined for
    gastrointestinal nematode infection. Three collections of fecal samples for each animal
    were obtained. Centrifugal floatation method and larval culture were employed in this
    study to identify the gastrointestinal nematodes.

    The common gastrointestinal nematodes identified were Neoascaris vitulorum,


    strongyloides spp. Strongylus spp., Trichuris spp., Cooperia spp., Haemonchus spp.,
    and Trichostrongylus spp. It was during the month of October when the highest peak
    of incidence of gastrointestinal nematode infection was observed.

    The study revealed that Neoascaris vitulorum and Strongyloides spp infection is
    inversely related with age while Strongylus spp. Infection has a direct correlation with
    age and has the highest prevalence rate in all age groups, sexes and breeds of the
    water buffaloes.
