| parasites of domestic and wild animals in south africa. viii. helminths in pigs kept under semi-intensive conditions. | the seasonal incidence of nematode infestations in pigs raised under semi-intensive conditions was determined by the monthly slaughter of 2--4 tracer pigs exposed to infestation in an earthernfloored pen for periods of 1 or 2 months. although worm burdens were generally small, ascarops strongylina appeared to be more prevalent from november to march than during the other months of the year. once ascaris suum became established in the pen nearly all the pigs became infested. the number of worms n ... | 1978 | 568231 |

| efficacy of ivermectin and oxfendazole against taenia solium cysticercosis and other parasitoses in naturally infected pigs. | smallholder semi-confined pig production is a fast growing practice in sub-saharan africa with an unfortunate outcome of high prevalence of taenia solium cysticercosis and other parasitoses. the widely used anthelmintic for control of endo and ecto-parasites in pigs in the area is ivermectin at a recommended dose of 0.3mg/kg. this study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety in pigs after subcutaneous injection of ivermectin (ivm, 0.3mg/kg) and orally administration of oxfendazole (of ... | 2013 | 23806569 |
| new insights in cysticercosis transmission. | taenia solium infection causes severe neurological disease in humans. even though infection and exposure to swine cysticercosis is scattered throughout endemic villages, location of the tapeworm only explains some of the nearby infections and is not related to location of seropositive pigs. other players might be involved in cysticercosis transmission. in this study we hypothesize that pigs that carry nematodes specific to dung beetles are associated with cysticercosis infection and/or exposure. ... | 2014 | 25329903 |
