dc.description.abstract Worm egg counts were compared with nematode worm burdens from data collected from >400 sheep killed in experiments on the epidemiology of nematode parasites in the Overberg, in the winter rainfall area of the southern Cape Province. Data were analysed in several ways but no method could be found to accurately estimate the number of nematodes present from the faecal egg count in respect of individual sheep. However, the mean natural log egg count (epg) can roughly predict the mean natural log nematode count in groups of sheep. en
