| a comparison of the bioequivalence of 0.5% fenbendazole top dress pellets or 10% fenbendazole oral suspension against a spectrum of equine parasites. | a controlled test was conducted to assess the efficacy bioequivalence of a single dose of 0.5% fenbendazole (fbz) top dress pellets to a 10% fbz suspension formulation (panacur suspension 10%, hoechst roussel vet). thirty horses with naturally-acquired parasite infections, in replicates of three, were used. strongyle egg per gram counts were not significantly different (p>0.1) between groups pretreatment, but fbz treated groups were significantly different from the control group post-treatment. ... | 1999 | 10392771 |

| diversity of the infracommunities of strongylid nematodes in the ventral colon of equus caballus from rio de janeiro state, brazil. | nematodes from the ventral colon of 31 adult horses, 24 males and 9 females, in the metropolitan region of the state of rio de janeiro were analysed. there were 53,444 (86.4%) adults of the total recovered strongylid nematodes. they belonged to 21 species of cyathostominae and seven of strongylinae. larval forms made up 13.6% (8407) of the total recovered, and 49% of the strongylid nematodes were observed in ventral colon. the most prevalent and abundant species were cyathostomum tetracanthum, c ... | 2006 | 16406328 |
| isolation and characterisation of a beta tubulin isotype 2 gene from two species of cyathostomin. | this study describes the isolation and characterisation of beta tubulin isotype 2 cdna sequences from two common species of cyathostomin, cylicocyclus nassatus and cyathostomum catinatum. the full-length cdnas for these species were 1709 and 1753 bp in length, respectively, including 1350 bp of sequence inferred to encode 450 amino acids of peptide sequence. they had greatest identity with previously characterised isotype 2 sequences from trichostrongylus colubriformis, cooperia oncophora and ha ... | 2005 | 15777911 |
| evidence of p-glycoprotein sequence diversity in cyathostomins. | p-glycoproteins (pgps) are adenosine triphosphate-binding transporter proteins thought to be associated with multi-drug resistance in mammals and protozoans and have been suggested to be involved in the mechanism of ivermectin (ivm) resistance in haemonchus contortus. until now, resistance to ivm has not been reported in cyathostomins in horses in spite of its widespread and frequent use. reasons for this might be differences in the molecular mechanism of the development of resistance. based on ... | 2004 | 15562598 |
| structure of the community of the strongylidae nematodes in the dorsal colon of equus caballus from rio de janeiro state--brazil. | the structure of the community of strongylidae nematodes in the dorsal colon of naturally infected horses from the metropolitan region of rio de janeiro state was evaluated in 33 samples. twenty-three species were found: cylicostephanus longibursatus, cylicostephanus goldi, cylicocyclus nassatus and cyathostomum tetracanthum were the central ones; cylicostephanus minutus, cylicostephanus calicatus, cylicocyclus leptostomus, cylicodontophorus bicoronatus and parapoteriostomum euproctus were secon ... | 2003 | 12581589 |
