For the first time in America, a potential intermediate host for Anoplocephala perfoliata has been reported, obtaining cysticercoids in mites of the genus Scheloribates. Epidemiological aspects of anoplocephalides in horses related to other cestodiasis from domestic herbivores in Argentina are discussed.

Article Synopsis
- A two-year-old male Ban'ei horse was found to have eight cestodes, identified as Anoplocephala perfoliata based on their physical features.
- Genetic analysis showed that the COI sequences of these worms were nearly identical to those found in European horses, indicating a close relationship.
- This study is significant as it is the first report of A. perfoliata infection in a Japanese draft horse, suggesting the parasite was brought to Japan along with European horses in the early 1900s.

Tapeworm infection in horses can cause serious health concerns, and recent data have documented treatment failures in the most common species, Anoplocephala perfoliata. The threat of anthelmintic resistance in A. perfoliata is of particular concern because of poor diagnostic performance of standard egg counting techniques for detecting this parasite.

The most common equine tapeworm, , has often been neglected amongst molecular investigations and has been faced with limited treatment options. However, the recent release of a transcriptome dataset has now provided opportunities for in-depth analysis of protein expression. Here, global, and sub-proteomic approaches were utilized to provide a comprehensive characterization of the soluble glutathione transferases (GST) (ApGST).

Helminths are commonly found in grazing equids, with cyathostomin nematodes and the cestode being the most prevalent. Most horses harbour low burdens of these parasites and do not develop signs of infection; however, in a small number of animals, high burdens can accumulate and cause disease. Cyathostomins are associated with a syndrome known as larval cyathostominosis.
