Before I begin, I'd like to thank Holly Jentsch of C&H Livestock and Vickie McGaugh for contributing many of the needed files, resources and references for this article - which is not really an article, but more or less a chart that should assist you in identifying those pesky internal parasites. I really do not think that this chart is quite yet complete as there are perhaps thousands (if not more) of species of parasites. However, these should give you a good idea of the more common, problematic parasites many ranchers are dealing with regularly. Good hunting. MONIEZIA (tapeworm) BUNOSTOMUM (hookworm) TRICHOSTRONGYLUS OESOPHAGOSTOMUM (nodular worm) CAPILLARIA DICTYOCAULUS (lungworm) TRICHURIS (whipworm) STRONGYLOIDES (threadworm) HAEMONCHUS (barberpole worm) OSTERTAGIA (brown stomach worm) COOPERIA COMING SOON! (we hope not!) NEMATODIRUS (thread neck worm)
