host range and the maintenance of haemonchus spp. in an adverse arid climate.three haemonchus species (haemonchus contortus, haemonchus placei and haemonchus longistipes) live in sympatry in sahelian areas such as mauritania (west africa). four host species (dromedary, zebu cattle, sheep and goats) share the same pastures for several months per year. experimental infection by h. contortus or h. placei was achieved only poorly in dromedaries, and h. contortus or h. longistipes infection failed to establish in zebu cattle. conversely, h. placei and h. longistipes successfu ...19989512988
[haemonchosis in camels].over the last thirty years, several surveys referring to the gastrointestinal parasites in the dromedary have shown high infestation rates by haemonchus longistipes. certain other studies have pointed out the economic and clinical importance of the camel haemonchosis. the author presents an overview of established knowledge on this major disease for the dromedary, which has hitherto been underestimated. the known features belonging either to this species or inferred from sheep haemonchosis, as a ...19892662272
experimental infection of sheep by the camel stomach worm, haemonchus longistipes.an attempt has been made to infect sheep by haemonchus longistipes with the objective of developing a relatively cheap and manageable model of camel haemonchosis. a large proportion of inoculated animals (28/34) developed patent infections; the prepatent period was short, lasting for 3 to 4 weeks in the majority of infected animals. worm burdens were low and so was the total egg output. most of the recovered worms were reduced in size.19846541839
the pathogenesis of experimental haemonchus longistipes infection in goats.goats are highly susceptible to haemonchus longistipes and could therefore serve as an inexpensive model to study camel haemonchosis. the course of the disease in goats is similar to that in camels and to h. contortus infection in sheep and goats. unlike the age-dependency of camel haemonchosis, however, the severity of h. longistipes infection in goats is dose-dependent and varies from mild to hyperacute.19836643762
haemonchus longistipes railliet & henry, 1909 in goats in the sudan.haemonchus longistipes specimens were collected from experimentally infected sudanese goats and camels for morphological studies. the specimens from goats were much smaller than those from camels, but their infectivity to camels was not affected by their passage in goats. goats inhabiting the same areas as camels in the sudan were found to be naturally infected with h. longistipes, but sheep were not and were resistant to experimental infection.19853989266
