Van Aken, J. De Bont, J. Vercruysse, P. Dorny] Infections Par Des Nematodes Gastrointestinaux Dans Une Ferme D'elevage Caprin Au Nord Ouest Du Sri Lanka Summary: Faecal egg counts were used to study patterns of nematode infestation of adult female goats and their offspring according to season, pregnancy and lactation or age on a goat farm (n=2000) in north-western Sri Lanka. Average rainfall in the area is 825 mm and temperature is between 23 and 33°C throughout the year. The only nematode species present on the farm wereHaemonchus contortus andOesophagostomum columbianum. In adult females the faecal egg output was not influenced by season and no significant periparturient rise was observed. In kids the egg counts rose from the third month of age onwards and reached the same levels as the adults by the fourth month. Post-mortem studies on a neighbouring farm indicated that hypobiosis was not present. Centre for Tropical Veterinary Medicine, 1990 Van Aken D.
