Twenty-three species were found: Cylicostephanus longibursatus, Cylicostephanus goldi, Cylicocyclus nassatus and Cyathostomum tetracanthum were the central ones; Cylicostephanus minutus, Cylicostephanus calicatus, Cylicocyclus leptostomus, Cylicodontophorus bicoronatus and Parapoteriostomum euproctus were secondary, and there were 14 satellite species. The community was considered stable, with positive associations and correlations, no significant negative associations and correlations, suggesting little competition among species Elsevier Science B.V.

Introduction The biodiversity of parasitic intestinal nematodes in horses is ample, varying according to compartments of the large intestine: cecum, dorsal colon and ventral colon (Ogbourne, 1976; Mfitilodze and Hutchinson, 1985; Krecek et al., 1989; Gawor, 1995). There are numerous studies on prevalence, abundance and mean intensity of Strongylidae nematodes, however the different compartments were not analysed separately (Lanfredi, 1983; Silva et al., 1999). This diversity has encouraged studies about structure of the parasitic community of Strongylidae nematodes in horses. In Australia, Bucknell et al. (1996) found Corresponding author.

2 110 D.H.S. Anjos, M.L.A. Rodrigues / Veterinary Parasitology 112 (2003) species in a community that was considered stable, dominated by positive interactions, suggesting the absence of competition within the community. However, others did not observe species that were clearly divisible into core (species present in more than two-thirds of the hosts studied, with evidence of interactions among the few unfilled niches) and satellites (species present in one-third of the hosts studied, showing little evidence of mutual interaction and many empty niches) (Holmes and Price, 1986). In Brazil, the infracommunities composition of the different compartments of the large intestine of equids were studied separately for comparison purposes: cecum (Souto-Maior et al., 1999), dorsal colon (Anjos, 1998; Rodrigues et al., 2000; Rodrigues and Anjos, 2001, WAAVP) and ventral colon (Anjos, 2002). The aim of this study was to analyse the structure of the community of Strongylidae nematodes in the dorsal colon of naturally infected horses in the metropolitan region of the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. 2. Materials and methods Thirty-three adult horses of various breeds and ages from the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, were sacrificed and necropsied at the W.O. Neitz Parasitology Station, Department of Animal Parasitology of the Veterinary Institute of the Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro University. The gastrointestinal tract of each animal was sectioned and the compartments of the large intestine were separated by double ligatures (cecum, dorsal colon and ventral colon). Each compartment of the dorsal colon was opened lengthwise and the contents placed in a graduated receptacle. The contents were homogenised and a sample of approximately 10% of the original volume was retrieved. These samples were fixed in hot alcohol formalin acetic acid (Amato et al., 1991). The nematodes collected from the samples were preserved in alcohol 70 GL, clarified in 90% phenol alcohol (Lichtenfels, 1984) and mounted temporarily on slides in Amann s lactophenol at the Helminthology Laboratory. The identification of the adult Strongylidae was done according to Lichtenfels (1975) and George (1982). The nomenclature of species of the subfamily Cyathostominae used is according to Hartwich (1986), Lichtenfels (1975) and Lichtenfels et al. (1998). The analysis was restricted to the members of Strongylidae, as these were extremely abundant. The terms used in the ecological analysis were those recomended by Bush et al. (1997). The prevalence of the species used in classifying the members of the dorsal colon infracommunities, according to Bush and Holmes (1986), was obtained from Rodrigues et al. (2000). To evaluate the association of species pairs and the correlation of their prevalence, we used the chi-square test (χ 2 ) with the correction of Yates and the Spearman correlation coefficient (r s ), both with P<0.05(Ludwig and Reynolds, 1988; Zar, 1999). These tests were applied only for the species of parasites with prevalence greater than or equal to 10%. Only those helminthes found in 10% of the host sample were examined in an attempt to eliminate accidental infections as component species, we recognised that this could also eliminate some host specific and generalist species that occur infrequently (Bush et al., 1990).

6 114 D.H.S. Anjos, M.L.A. Rodrigues / Veterinary Parasitology 112 (2003) Results Of the 33 samples examined, from the dorsal colon, 23 species were observed, distributed in 11 genera belonging to the Strongylidae family. The infection rate per host varied from two species for Strongylinae to 14 for Cyathostominae (Table 1). Based on the prevalence of species, the community in the dorsal colon was composed of four central species (17.39%) (Cylicostephanus longibursatus, Cylicostephanus goldi, Cylicocyclus nassatus and Cyathostomum tetracanthum), five secondary species (21.73%) (Cylicostephanus minutus, Cylicostephanus calicatus, Cylicocyclus leptostomus, Cylicodontophorus bicoronatus and Parapoteriostomum euproctus) and 14 satellite species (60.86%) (Table 2). Of the 263 pairs of Strongylidae nematode species, only four (1.52%) showed both significant positive association and correlation (χ 2 and r s ), while 21 (7.98%) and 24 (9.13%) pairs, respectively, presented significant positive association (χ 2 ) or positive correlation (r s ) alone. We did not observe any species with significant negative association and correlation in both tests used (Table 3). 4. Discussion The parasite community in the equine gastrointestinal tract can be interactive when composed of a rich variety of parasites and many central species (species present in more than two-thirds of the hosts studied), with evidence of interactions among them and few unfilled niches. Or, they may be isolationist when they have a low level of richness and few central species (species present in one-third of the hosts studied), showing little evidence of mutual interaction and many empty niches (Holmes and Price, 1986). In this study, the community of strongylidae nematodes was characterized by a few central species, moderate parasitic richness and few species with significant positive association and correlation, indicating that these species are independent and that the abundance among them varies in the same direction. The absence of negative association and correlation shows that the species are not competing for the available space, but instead coexist in distinct ecological niches. This community does not fit in the classification of Holmes and Price (1986); suggesting an intermediate classification between interactive and isolationist. However, this community can be considered to be intermediate in a continuum. The number of core species in the parasitic community may determine its position along the continuum from non-interative or isolationist communities to highly interative communities (Holmes and Price, 1986; Esch et al., 1990). Although species interactions may be important in species-poor and uneven communities, evenness could be a rough index of how likely coexisting parasite species are to co-occur and interact with one another. The present study agrees with that of Bucknell et al. (1996), who found a stable community consisting of central species (6.5%) C. longibursatus and C. tetracanthum, according to the classification of Holmes and Price (1986). To check this similarity, prevalence of species data found by Bucknell et al. (1996) were used. The parasitic richness observed in the dorsal colon of horses of this study, however, differed from the results of Bucknell et al.

7 D.H.S. Anjos, M.L.A. Rodrigues / Veterinary Parasitology 112 (2003) (1996) by the absence of Strongylus edentatus, S. equinus, Triodontophorus brevicauda, Petrovinema poculatum, Cylicocyclus ashworthi, Cylicocyclus elongatus, Cylicocyclus auriculatus, Cylicocyclus radiatus, Poteriostomum imparidentatum, and Parapoteriostomum mettami. This can be attributed to the number, origin of the hosts and the methodology applied (e.g. in this study we analysed 10% of the total contents of the dorsal colon (200 of 7000 worms). The Bucknell s study examined at least 40 worms in each sample. The species C. longibursatus, C. goldi, C. nassatus and C. tetracanthum were classified as central for the dorsal colon of horses in Rio de Janeiro, whereas C. goldi and C. nassatus were secondary species in the community of the large intestine of horses in Australia. This difference may be related to the methodology used by Bucknell et al. (1996). An analysis of samples taken from the total content of the large intestine can have a make up different from the entire community of strongylidae nematodes, since each compartment has a distinct fauna and consequently a characteristic structure. The community structure of these nematodes was considered to be dominated by a species grouping phenomenon by Kennedy and Bush (1992), mainly due to the coexistence of species. In this grouping, it was observed that single infections were more frequent (60%) and that the percentage of hosts with multiple infections decrease as the parasitic richness increased. In the present study and that of Bucknell et al. (1996), the most frequent type of infection was multiple, indicating similarity between the communities of Strongylidae nematodes in horses in Rio de Janeiro and Australia. Both studies differ from that of Kennedy and Bush (1992) by their finding of various species of the genus Equus and the greater prevalence of Cyathostominae. The frequency distribution for the two subfamilies differed markedly in our study. The majority of animals were free of Strongylinae infection, or when infected, only by one species. This distribution was observed in the present study and that of Bucknell et al. (1996). For Cyathostominae, the greatest frequencies were observed in animals afflicted by four, eight and nine species in the present study, while in Bucknell et al. (1996), the highest frequencies were five and six species per host. However, in both studies, Cylicocyclus and Cylicostephanus were the only genera that had more than three species present despite a different distribution pattern Cylicocyclus had the highest frequency of double infection. Cylicostephanus, with a maximum frequency of four species had a pattern similar to that observed by Bucknell et al. (1996).
