''Parafilaria multipapillosa'' (syn. ''Filaria haemorrhagica'') is a parasitic nematode of the genus ''Parafilaria'',〔(Parafilaria multipapillosa (syn. Filaria haemorrhagica) – definition of Parafilaria multipapillosa (syn. Filaria haemorrhagica) in the Medical dictionary – by the Free Online Medical Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia ). Medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com. Retrieved on 2011-03-17.〕 which affects horses causing hemorrhagic subcutaneous nodules in the head and upper forelimbs, in North Africa, Southern and Eastern Europe, Asia and South America, leading to bleeding from the skin. It is commonly referred to as "Summer bleeding". ==Description== ''P. multipapillosa'' is related to ''Parafilaria antipini'' which are found in deer, and ''Parafilaria bovicola'' which causes hemorrhagic nodules in the skin of cattle and buffalo.〔 The nematode is thought to be passed by blood-sucking ''Haematobia'' spp (flies ) in spring and summer. It causes skin nodules, particularly on the head and upper forequarters, which often bleed profusely ("summer bleeding") but then usually resolve, though occasionally suppurating. The nodules and bleeding, though annoying and unsightly are generally are of little consequence. The clinical signs are pathognomonic. No effective treatment is available.〔The Merck Veterinary Manual (2008) at ()〕
'“Modern researchers, (Victor ) Mair notes, have come up with two different ideas (the ancient Chinese references to the “Blood-sweating” horses of Ferghana ). The first suggests that small subcutaneous blood vessels burst as the horses sustained a long hard gallop. The second theorizes that a parasitic nematode, ''Parafilaria multipapillosa'', triggered the phenomenon. P. multipapillosa is widely distributed across the Russian steppes and makes its living by burrowing into the subcutaneous tissues of horses. The resulting skin nodules bleed often, sometimes copiously, giving rise to a something veterinarians call “summer bleeding.”〔(The Emperor and the Parasite ). The Last Word On Nothing (2011-03-03).
