| a comparison of the first internal transcribed spacer of ribosomal dna in seven species of trichostrongylus (nematoda: trichostrongylidae). | the first internal transcribed spacer (its-1) of the ribosomal dna of seven species of trichostrongylus was sequenced. the length of its-1 in the different species varied from 387 to 390 bases. the g + c content of the its-1 sequences were approximately 42%. little or no intraspecific variation was detected in the three species. trichostrongylus axei, trichostrongylus colubriformis and trichostrongylus vitrinus, for which multiple isolates from different geographical regions were sequenced. in c ... | 1998 | 9762572 |
| the pathogenesis and control of diarrhoea and breech soiling in adult merino sheep. | diarrhoea and soiling of the breech with faeces ('winter scours') is a serious problem in adult merino sheep grazing improved pastures in south-eastern australia during winter and spring. this occurs even on farms where gastro-intestinal nematodes are effectively controlled. it was shown that winter scours was associated with the ingestion of trichostrongylid larvae, and that host factors were important in determining susceptibility to this syndrome. no differences were detected in the protectiv ... | 1999 | 10480726 |
| prevalence and seasonal pattern of caprine trichostrongyles in a dry area of central spain. | a total of 322 gastrointestinal tracts were examined from traditionally reared goats originating from a dry area of central spain. a large spectrum of gastrointestinal nematodes was observed, teladorsagia circumcincta and t. trifurcata being the most prevalent species, followed by trichostrongylus vitrinus and nematodirus filicollis. trichostrongylus capricola recorded a high level of infection despite low prevalence. a nematode infection rate of 93% and an average burden of over 3000 worms indi ... | 1999 | 10676144 |
| the relationship between the rate of intake of trichostrongylid larvae and the occurrence of diarrhoea and breech soiling in adult merino sheep. | a hypersensitive inflammatory response, associated with the ingestion of trichostrongylid larvae, is a major cause of diarrhoea and soiling of the breech with faeces in adult merino sheep ('hypersensitivity scours'). this response is characterised by an infiltration of eosinophils and altered lymphocyte populations in the gut of affected sheep. the objective of this study was to investigate the numbers of ostertagia circumcincta and trichostrongylus vitrinus infective larvae that were needed to ... | 2000 | 10736672 |

| serpin expression in the parasitic stages of trichostrongylus vitrinus, an ovine intestinal nematode. | members of the genus trichostrongylus, such as t. vitrinus, being endemic in northern europe, are among the principal causative nematodes which contribute to parasitic gastro-enteritis in sheep world-wide, inhabiting the proximal small intestine and causing damage to the mucosa. this results in impaired nutrient absorption as well as a pronounced inflammatory response with cellular infiltration of the mucosa, including a pronounced mast cell response. these mast cells release serine proteinases ... | 2005 | 15796018 |
| real time pcr for the diagnosis of benzimidazole resistance in trichostrongylids of sheep. | this report describes a new molecular method for the diagnosis of benzimidazole susceptibility or resistance in three main species of trichostrongylids of sheep (haemonchus contortus, teladorsagia circumcincta and trichostrongylus vitrinus). this assay is based on the use of real time polymerase chain reaction (pcr) to detect mutations of residue 200 on isotype 1 of beta-tubulin. the technique allows calculation of the proportion of each allelic variant as it combines kinetic (real time quantita ... | 2005 | 15845285 |
| variation among faecal egg counts following natural nematode infection in scottish blackface lambs. | faecal egg counts were examined in 2 flocks of naturally infected scottish blackface sheep in southern and central scotland. the distribution of mean counts was right skewed and similar to a gamma distribution. the counts varied with month, with mean counts rising from may to july, then falling but rising again in october, although data within each year did not always show such a clear pattern. there was no significant difference in mean egg count between the 2 farms examined. the distribution o ... | 2006 | 16209724 |
| characterisation of a dm domain-containing transcription factor from trichostrongylus vitrinus (nematoda: strongylida). | the sequence and expression profile of tv-mab-23, a gene encoding a dm domain-containing protein from the parasitic nematode trichostrongylus vitrinus, were investigated. the gene, containing an open reading frame (orf) of 537 bp, encoded a predicted protein which had an overall amino acid identity of 45% to the mab-23 molecule of the free-living nematode caenorhabditis elegans. high levels of conservation were particularly predominant at the amino terminus of the proteins, with 86% identity ove ... | 2006 | 16386943 |
