Background: Gastrointestinal parasites are the cause of morbidity and mortality in working donkeys and reduce their working performance.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from November 2020 to July 2021 to assess gastrointestinal parasite infection in working donkeys in Shashemane and the surrounding district. A total of 395 donkeys were randomly sampled for the study, and an examination was conducted using faecal egg count and the Baermann technique.

The diversity, prevalence and intensity of parasitic infections are influenced by factors such as movement patterns and land area available to the host. Zebras are known to harbour various genera of gastrointestinal helminths and facilitate parasite movement across large geographic areas through migration. Despite the harmful effects of helminths and their consequences on host population dynamics, little is known regarding helminth infection patterns in migratory, resident, and sedentary zebras.

Parasitic infections are one of the most common factors that threaten the health and working performance of donkeys. One of the life threatening parasites is the small strongyles that encyst or burrow into the large intestine and their larvae can initiate severe damage in the lining of the intestine. A 6 years old female donkey with clinical signs of diarrhea and emaciation was necropsied and gross examination of gastro-intestinal tract revealed thin-walled, hyperemic and hemorrhagic cecum.
