Elaeophora bohmi

Elaeophora bohmi is a nematode parasite found in various arteries of the horse.

Elaeophora bohmi was first described in 1953, from adults found in the arteries and veins in the extremities of Austrian horses.

So far, E. bohmi has only been found in horses (Equus caballus) in Austria and Iran.

In the original species description, Supperer found E. bohmi in 6.7% of the Austrian horses examined.

A survey of blood samples found E. bohmi microfilariae in 8.69% of Iranian horses examined, but none in donkeys or mules.
