Vet Res.,
17 (5): 280-287, 2013. Otitis
induced by rhabditiform nematodes in Gir and Indubrasil cattle
has been reported in several states of Brazil. Nematodes eggs, larvae and
adults of both sexes rhabditis freitasi were
taken from Gir cattle suffering severe ottorhea and examined microscopically and morphologically.
Affected cattle presented purulent secretions from external ear canals, shook
their heads, appeared irritable and were sensitive to handling. Findings suggest
that the condition proliferates through introduction of parasitic-infested
animals from endemic areas. Parasite data was analyzed through descriptive
statistics and findings are reported
