Abstract

The prevalence of clinical otitis causal byRhabditis sp. in Gir cattle was studied in 12 farms from 11 municipal districts in the Goiás State-Brazil, from July to December 1997. During this, work temperature, relative humidity air and pluviometric precipitation were registered in order to check correlation between prevalence and climatic parameters. Samples of ear discharges were collected by swabs in 255 bovines. The frequency varied from 30% to 95%. The prevalence for clinical otitis by Rhabditis sp. was 78.43%, although the seasonal influence over prevalence was not shown clearly.

KEY-WORDS: Bovine; Rhabditis; otitis; prevalence.
