The amphistome faecal egg counts followed a seasonal pattern, with an increase in the counts during the warmer months of the year (October to March). This is the first work concerning the seasonal cycling of amphistomes in ruminants in South Africa.© ARC-Onderstepoort and Faculty of Veterinary Science, University of Pretoria (original). © University of Pretoria.
