haemonchus contortus and other trichostrongylid infections in parturient, lactating and dry ewes.from autumn (april) to spring (november), groups of pregnant and dry merino ewes grazed pasture contaminated with infective larvae of haemonchus contortus, ostertagia circumcincta and trichostrongylus colubriformis. a periparturient rise in faecal egg counts occurred in the pregnant ewes, following the maturation in early spring of arrested fourth-stage larvae of h. contortus and failure of pregnant ewes to expel the resulting adult worms. peak egg counts were seen in september, just before lamb ...19863788026
in vitro demonstration of in utero larval development in an oviparous parasitic nematode: haemonchus contortus.the life-cycle of haemonchus contortus, a pathogenic stomach nematode of sheep, is typical of those of the other members of the superfamily trichostrongyloides, all of which require a period of development outside the definitive host. classically, gravid h. contortus, known as strictly oviparous, releases her eggs into the abomasal lumen. the eggs are passed out in the faeces in which they hatch into the 1st-stage larvae and then develop into the infective 3rd-stage larvae. we have developed a m ...19863785975
changes in serum pepsinogen and haemoglobin concentrations in calves infected with haemonchus contortus.in four calves given haemonchus contortus larvae, the serum pepsinogen concentration rose quickly to reach a mean of 3.5 iu tyrosine on day 14 after infection. the mean concentration dropped to 1.8 iu tyrosine by day 23 and remained around 2.0 iu tyrosine until an anthelmintic was given on day 57, when concentrations returned to preinfection values.19863764097
efficacy of repeated doses of levamisole, morantel, fenbendazole, and ivermectin against gastrointestinal nematodes in ewes.levamisole, morantel, fenbendazole, or ivermectin was administered at 2-week intervals from may 1 through sept 14, 1985, to breeding ewes (20 ewes/drug) infected with various gastrointestinal nematodes. all ewes had fewer gastrointestinal nematode eggs per gram of feces (epg) after 2 treatments, compared with pretreatment epg counts. ewes administered ivermectin continued to have a low mean epg (0 to 3) throughout the study. the mean epg counts of ewes treated with levamisole increased from 3 to ...19863755877
activity of ivermectin against natural infections by abomasal nematodes in lambs in controlled tests: evaluation of equine and bovine injectable formulations administered intraorally.the efficacy of 2 injectable formulations of ivermectin, administered intraorally at the dosage of 200 micrograms/kg of body weight, was evaluated against naturally occurring infections by abomasal nematodes in lambs in 2 controlled tests. one test (a) included 17 lambs treated with the equine formulation and 16 nontreated lambs. for the other test (b), 14 lambs were treated with the bovine formulation, and 12 were nontreated. in controlled test a, only mature nematodes were recovered, and remov ...19863755309
interactions of benzimidazoles (bz) with tubulin from bz-sensitive and bz-resistant isolates of haemonchus contortus.the binding of tritiated benzimidazoles (bzs)-albendazole, parbendazole, oxibendazole, mebendazole, oxfendazole and fenbendazole-to crude tubulin extracts from bz-susceptible and -resistant haemonchus contortus has been examined. for all bzs, the binding was substantially lower in the resistant isolate. the extent of this reduction was dependent on the structure of the bz, with mebendazole demonstrating superior binding to the resistant isolate than the other bzs. enrichment of the crude tubulin ...19863755220
the comparative efficacy of oxfendazole administered as bolus and suspension to naturally infected sheep in greece.in a flock of 20 ewes naturally infected with those parasites of sheep most common in greece, and kept indoors during the whole trial, oxfendazole at the dose rate of approximately 2.9 and 2.8 mg/kg body-weight was tested as a 4 g bolus containing 112 mg active ingredient and a 2.265% suspension. the evaluation of its efficacy was based on the necropsy findings which were also supported by faecal egg counts. no differences in efficacy were noticed between the two formulations of the drug. both b ...19863745877
the effect of triflumuron (sir8514) on the free-living stages of sheep nematodes.studies both in vitro and in vivo showed that the insect growth regulator, triflumuron, exhibited potent larvacidal effects against the free-living stages of trichostrongylus colubriformis. effects were not as marked on the closely related nematodes, haemonchus contortus and ostertagia circumcincta. nevertheless, these findings suggest that growth regulators may be used to develop novel methods of nematode control, and thus offer alternatives or adjuncts to conventional anthelmintic therapy and ...19863739204

development and survival of haemonchus contortus larvae on pasture in iraq.the survival of haemonchus contortus infective larvae on pasture and soil was studied over a period of 12 months in the baghdad area. infective larvae were found on herbage and soil at all times except in the summer months. during autumn and winter infective larvae in pasture survived for periods of up to 32 weeks. little larval migration into soil was observed during this study and larvae did not survive for long in the faecal pellets during the summer.19873629723
prevalence of benzimidazole resistance of nematodes in sheep in the netherlands.a survey was carried out in the netherlands to determine the prevalence of benzimidazole resistance in sheep nematodes. it was shown that 47 per cent of the 59 investigated flocks harboured trichostrongylid populations with resistance to benzimidazoles, as demonstrated by an ld50 value of 0.12 micrograms ml-1 thiabendazole or higher in an in vitro egg hatch assay. on these farms haemonchus contortus was found to be the dominant species. in two flocks resistant ostertagia and, or, trichostrongylu ...19873628978
detecting in vitro anthelmintic effects with a micromotility meter.an in vitro target parasite anthelmintic assay utilizing a micromotility meter has been developed and validated. haemonchus contortus, an economically important ruminant helminth with worldwide distribution, was the parasite used in the model. four commercially available ruminant anthelmintics (albendazole, ivermectin, levamisole hydrochloride and coumaphos) were initially evaluated at concentrations of 200, 150, 100 and 50 micrograms ml-1. all four significantly affected helminth motor activity ...19873617429
the pathogenicity of haemonchosis in sheep and goats in iraq: 1. clinical, parasitological and haematological findings.the response of awassi sheep and the local breed of iraqi goats to primary infection with a prevalent trichostrongylid nematode, haemonchus contortus, was compared by examining their worm burden and the pathogenic effects of the parasite on these hosts following experimental infection. the results showed that the goats had lower worm burdens and had suffered less severe clinical and haematological disturbances than the awassi sheep. the worm counts in sheep were higher than in goats but the coun ...19873617428
changes in lc50 in an in vitro egg development assay during the patent period of haemonchus contortus in sheep.using an in vitro egg development assay with thiabendazole as anthelmintic the lc50 of eggs produced by two sheep infected with either a susceptible or a resistant strain of haemonchus contortus was followed during the patent period from 22 days to 77 days after infection. in both sheep the lc50 followed the same pattern. at the start of the patent period the average values for the susceptible and the resistant strain were, respectively, 0.05 and 0.21 micrograms ml-1 thiabendazole, after 40 to 6 ...19873616153
