摘要
Motility disturbances of the ileo-caeco-colic region resulting from natural and experimental strongyle infection were studied by electromyography in six ponies, before and after treatment. Compared with control animals regulary treated by mebendazole (10 mg/kg), naturally infected animals exhibited a low level of ileal motility and a reduction by 50% of the caeco-colic motor response to feeding. Complete disorganization of the motility patterns occured during the 48 h following the anthelmintic treatment. A marked decrease in motility and/or disorganization of the motility patterns accompanied by intermittent diarrhoea occurred 40-50 days after an experimental infection of the ponies with 70,000-300,000 small strongyle larvae. The results showed that strongyle infection resulted in changes in motility patterns associated with both the lower rate of weight gain and the digestive disturbances. © 1979.
