In: Assiut Veterinary Medical Journal 2004.v.50(101)Summary: In this study the dynamic of Haemonchus contortus infection in Desert kids over 12-month survey has been investigated. The effect of climatic factors on the prevalence and worm burden revealed a significant positive correlation with rainfall and relative humidity. The total worm burden per animal was neither correlated with any of the previously mentioned climatic factors. The mean male/female ratio value for the whole survey period was 1.33. The lowest male/female ratio was recorded during January while the highest value of male/female ratio (2.73) was observed during March. The morphometric studies showed that both male and female Haemonchus contortus have the typical morphological features of caprine stomach worm. Considerable variations in the size of the worm were observed in relation to seasonal distribution of the parasite. Key words: Epidemiology, Haemonchus contortus, goats.
