| microsatellite marker analysis of haemonchus contortus populations from pakistan suggests that frequent benzimidazole drug treatment does not result in a reduction of overall genetic diversity. | the impact of drug selection pressure on the overall genetic diversity of parasitic nematode populations in the field is poorly understood. in this study, we address this issue for the small ruminant parasite haemonchus contortus in the punjab, pakistan. this region provides an opportunity to compare h. contortus populations that have been subjected to a prolonged period of frequent benzimidazole drug treatments on government farms with parasite populations that have been exposed to little or no ... | 2016 | 27316714 |
| epidemiological survey of helminths of goats in southern punjab, pakistan. | the main purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of helminths of goats such as fasciola hepatica, haemonchus contortus, paramphistomum cervi, oesophagostomum columbian, cotylophoron cotylophorum, monezia expansa, oestertagia oestertagi and oestertagia circumcincta. the overall prevalence of all species of helminthes was 52% in goat. the study was designed to investigate the factors of helminths prevalence on the basis of sex and age of goat with the help of chi-square. all the re ... | 2013 | 23665709 |
| gastrointestinal helminthiasis: prevalence and associated determinants in domestic ruminants of district toba tek singh, punjab, pakistan. | the objective of the present study was to determine the prevalence and associated determinants (e.g., sex, age, on-farm management and husbandry) of gastrointestinal (gi) helminths in the domestic animals of district toba tek singh, punjab, pakistan. for this purpose, 1,140 cattle, 1,140 buffaloes, 660 goats, 840 sheep, and 156 camels were randomly selected and their fecal samples were screened every other week for a year using a modified floatation technique. the samples positive for strongyle- ... | 2010 | 20532913 |
