description The bionomics of the parasitic nematode worm, Haemonchous contortus were compared between Malaysia and Yemen. The morphological and molecular characterizations of H. contortus isolates from the two countries were investigated. Samples were obtained from sheep and goats. Study sites comprised of two States in Malaysia (Perak and Kelantan) and two Governorates in Yemen (Sana'a and Al- Hudaydah). The sites were chosen based on their geographical isolation within each country. Records of total number of infected sheep and goats by H. contortus adult worms during 2007-2009 in Malaysia and Yemen were collected from the annual reports of veterinary service centers in each country. High prevalence rates of this nematode in both sheep and goats were reported in Yemen. Data for temperature, humidity and rainfall during those years were collected to show the climatic conditions in the study areas and to assess a possible relation between these climatic parameters and the percentages of infected animals. Abattoir investigations were also carried out in Yemen during the period from September 2008 till February 2009. The abomasa of 68 sheep and 33 goats were collected in Sana'a while 59 abomasa of sheep and 105 abomasa of goats were collected in Al-Hudaydah. The data obtained showed high monthly prevalences of this worm in sheep and goats with no significant difference between host species in prevalences and total worm burdens
