| β-tubulin genotypes in six species of cyathostomins from anthelmintic-naive przewalski and benzimidazole-resistant brood horses in ukraine. | resistance to benzimidazoles (bz) in the gastrointestinal nematodes of livestock is characterised by the presence of specific polymorphisms in the β-tubulin isotype 1 protein, a component of microtubules. the most prevalent polymorphism associated with resistance in nematodes infecting cattle, sheep, and goats is found at codon 200, with minor occurrences of polymorphisms at codons 167 and 198. in the cyathostomins that infect horses, however, a polymorphism at codon 167 appears to be more commo ... | 2011 | 21553015 |
| observations on development of natural infection and species composition of small strongyles in young equids in kentucky. | early development and maturation of species of small strongyles have not been studied extensively. most information is on the first appearance of strongyle eggs in feces of foals. however, species cannot be determined in this manner because of similarity of the morphological features of the eggs. to determine more definitive knowledge on development and species composition of natural infections of small strongyles, eight equid foals were necropsied and examined at various ages (31 to 92 days of ... | 2011 | 21614543 |
| field study on the efficacy of an oral 2% ivermectin formulation in horses. | twenty horses naturally infected with nematodes were included in a blind, controlled field study on efficacy and safety of an oral 2% ivermectin formulation at a dose of 0.2 mg.kg(-1). horses were divided into treated and non-treated (control) groups with ten animals each based on preliminary counts of eggs per gram of feces (epg). stool samples were collected after treatment for identification of nematode species. clinical evaluations and epg counts were performed on days 0, +5, +14 and +19. ni ... | 2011 | 21722495 |
| the prevalence, abundance and distribution of cyathostomins (small stongyles) in horses from western romania. | forty seven working horses from romania were post-mortem examined for small strongyles (cyathostominae) infections. all horses were found infected. the overall cyathostomins intensity ranged from 390 to 13,010 and horses were infected by 8-24 species. the intensity was higher in ventral colon (1531) and dorsal colon (824), the lowest in the caecum (524). twenty four species were identified. cyathostomum catinatum, cylicocyclus insigne, and c. nassatus had 100% of prevalence. over 50% of horses w ... | 2016 | 27198801 |
| fecundity of various species of strongylids (nematoda: strongylidae)--parasites of domestic horses. | the aims of the study were to determine fecundity of several strongylid species parasitizing domestic horses and analyze possible relations between numbers of eggs in female uteri and size of both the eggs and the nematodes as well as the influence of fecundity on proportion of species in the strongylid community. twenty-five specimens from each of 15 strongylid species (strongylus vulgaris, strongylus edentatus, triodontophorus serratus, triodontophorus brevicauda, triodontophorus tenuicollis, ... | 2012 | 22903448 |
| development of a recombinant protein-based elisa for diagnosis of larval cyathostomin infection. | cyathostomins are ubiquitous nematodes of horses. once ingested, they can spend a substantial time as encysted larvae in the intestinal wall. the larvae can comprise up to 90% of the total burden, with up to several million worms reported in individuals. these stages can emerge in large numbers to cause life-threatening colitis. direct methods for detection of encysted larval burdens in live horses do not exist. previously, two antigen complexes were identified as promising markers for infection ... | 2016 | 27174468 |
