This is a very tiny worm - 4 to 7 mm. Most commonly occurs in areas of rainy winters. Goats are often infected when first released into pastures in spring after being in confinment. Young animals are most susceptible but infection can also occur in older animals. Commonly brought on by stress such as moving. Signs of infection are minimal until a high level of worms are present. ![]() Adult Bankrupt Worm ![]() Life Cycle (click on image to enlarge) Images from University of Pennsylvania 2003
