On the basis of the faecal examination and necropsies, prevalence of infection, number of species and egg counts (EPG) were estimated. A comparison of EPG of ewes and their lambs showed, that of the group of lambs with the lowest EPG, 25% were from resistant mothers while in the group with the highest EPG - 31.25%
