Seventy-four percent farmers' predictions their confirmed by darkground-microscopy. That proved farmers had fairly accurate knowledge diseases affecting equines. treatments executed generally effective. few (0.4%) relapses T vivax previously treated diminazene aceturate this study not sufficient prove drug resistance. showed analysis consultation can complementary conventional studies same research area.
