anthelmintic activity of some mediterranean browse plants against parasitic nematodes.the anthelmintic properties of tannin-rich plants are being explored as an alternative to chemical drugs. most data have been acquired on legume forages, but only few on browse plants. the present study aimed to (i) screen the in vitro effects of extracts from 7 mediterranean plants on haemonchus contortus, (ii) verify the role of tannins using an inhibitor, polyvinyl polypyrrolidone (pvpp) and (iii) verify the in vivo effects of extracts from 4 plants. significant inhibition was shown in vitro ...201019961649
in vivo anthelmintic activity of an aqueous extract from sisal waste (agave sisalana perr.) against gastrointestinal nematodes in goats.the resistance of gastrointestinal nematodes (gins) of small ruminants to anthelmintics has required the investigation of new alternatives. the aim of the present study was to evaluate the in vivo anthelmintic activity of an aqueous extract from sisal waste (agave sisalana) (aesw) against gins in goats and to observe the animals for toxic effects. thirty animals that were naturally infected with gins were distributed into three groups: group i, was treated with daily doses of aesw (1.7 g/kg) for ...201021156340
short report: human trichostrongylus colubriformis infection in a rural village in laos.in lahanam village, savannakhet province, laos, 125 of 253 villagers (49.4%) were found by fecal examination to harbor hookworm eggs. the eggs were heterogeneous in morphology and size, suggesting infections of mixed nematode species. to confirm the hookworm egg species, on a voluntary basis, 46 hookworm egg-positive participants were treated with albendazole, and post-treatment adult worms were collected from purged fecal samples. the common human hookworm was found in only 3 participants; 1 ca ...201121212201
administration of the nematophagous fungus duddingtonia flagrans to goats: an evaluation of the impact of this fungus on the degradation of faeces and on free-living soil nematodes.the environmental impact of duddingtonia flagrans, a potential biological control agent for nematode parasites, was tested in a 2-year-plot study using goat faeces. the trial assessed the impact of fungal presence on the disintegration of faeces and on non-target, free-living soil nematode populations. three groups of goats experimentally infected by trichostrongylus colubriformis received three different doses of d. flagrans chlamydospores (0 chlamydospores/kg body weight (bw), 0.5 × 106 chlamy ...201121418709
anthelmintic efficacy of five tropical native australian plants against haemonchus contortus and trichostrongylus colubriformis in experimentally infected goats (capra hircus).the study of the anthelmintic properties of plants rich in plant secondary metabolites can provide ecologically sound methods for the treatment of parasites on grazing animals. the purpose of the present study was to evaluate the anthelmintic effect of five tropical native australian plant species rich in plant secondary metabolites on adult haemonchus contortus and trichostrongylus colubriformis in experimentally infected goats. thirty young, nematode-free goats were infected with 2500 h. conto ...201222265804
