Responses collected from 13 different universities (10 countries) have been summarised in the table. Time allocated for the teaching about equine parasitology is given in hours as well as the person in charge of teaching (parasitologist or parasitologist and clinician together). Recommended drenching scheme is also indicated. Other questions addressed whether differences of management between equine establishments were recommended (yes or no) or whether alternative strategies were considered

EB, evidence-based; Syst. in foals/EB otherwise, systematic drenching of foals and application of evidence-based programme in other age groups; systematic, systematic calendar-based drenching regimen
