The kulans of Turkmenistan have 9 types of nematodes: Delafondia vulgaris, Triodontophorus serratus, Cylicocyclus elondatus, Cylicocyclus insigne, Cylicocyclus nassatum, Cyathostomum tetracanthus, Cylicostephanus calicatum, Cylicostephanus minutum, Coronocyclus coronatum. In the state National Park, the kulans were found to have parasitization of 4 species of nematodes: Parascaris equorum, Alfortia edentates, Strongylus equines, Cylicostephanus longibursatum.
