    Brief

    VMD Self-Service Direct Award opportunity to conduct a pilot prevalence study on equine large strongyles in the UK. The Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) is seeking to address a critical evidence gap regarding the potential re-emergence of large strongyles in UK horses. Currently, there is insufficient UK-specific data on the occurrence of equine large strongyles and uncertainty surrounding diagnostic interpretation, which hampers the equine sector's ability to assess the current parasite threat and develop evidence-based parasite control guidance. This research will help determine the appropriate role and optimisation of diagnostic testing for large strongyles in UK equine parasite management strategies.
