Abstract: | Under the studied conditions, the structure and composition of community of parasitic nematodes observed in both sheeps and goats, is similar (rS = 0.90 P less than or equal to 0.05 and CSS = 93.33%), the Shannon-Weaver index of diversity was 1.23 +/- 0.15 bits and 1.15 +/- 0.24 bits for sheeps and goats, respectively. The equitability index resulted in 0.49 +/- 0.06 for sheep-nematodes and 0.44 +/- 0.09 for goats-nematodes. However, no significant difference was observed when the means of these indexes, were compared. Not withstanding, a greater homogenity was observed in the ovine parasitic nematodes. |
