| statistical experimental design to assess the influence of enzymes of nematophagous fungi versus helminths. | the present work used plackett-burman experimental design to assess the influence of enzymes of nematophagous fungi versus strongyloides westeri and trichostrongylides larvae and platynosomum fastosum eggs. the variables studied in the plackett-burman design were the proteases and chitinases of ac001 or vc4 as destructive agents of s. westeri and trichostrongylides larvae, and p. fastosum eggs. all tested enzymes had a significant effect (p < 0.05) on the destruction of s. westeri larvae. furthe ... | 2014 | 25267285 |
| control of strongyloides westeri by nematophagous fungi after passage through the gastrointestinal tract of donkeys. | strongyloides westeri is the most prevalent nematode among equines aged up to four months and causes gastrointestinal disorders. the objective of this study was to observe the control of infective s. westeri larvae (l3) by the nematophagous fungi duddingtonia flagrans (ac001) and monacrosporium thaumasium (nf34) after passage through the gastrointestinal tract of female donkeys. twelve dewormed female donkeys that were kept in stables were used. two treatment groups each comprising four animals ... | 2013 | 22832758 |
| strongyloides westeri worm and egg counts in naturally infected young horses. | strongyloides westeri is a threadworm parasite found in the small intestine mainly in foals at up to about 4 months of age. this parasite is associated with small intestinal enteritis and diarrhea as well as skin irritation and a clinical syndrome called "frenzied behavior" due to percutaneous invasion. the aim of this study was to investigate s. westeri parasite burdens in age groups older than the initial lactogenic transmission phase. secondary aims were to examine the impact of host age and ... | 2017 | 29173533 |
| 10-year parasitological examination results (2003 to 2012) of faecal samples from horses, ruminants, pigs, dogs, cats, rabbits and hedgehogs. | the results of coproscopical examinations in domestic animals and hedgehogs carried out as routine diagnostics in the years 2003 to 2012 at the institute for parasitology, university of veterinary medicine hannover, germany, are presented. of 3475 horse faecal samples, 30.1% contained stages of strongyles and 1.3% eggs of strongyloides westeri and parascaris equorum, respectively. the most frequently observed parasite stages in 1416 cattle faecal samples were eimeria oocysts (21.3%) and strongyl ... | 2017 | 29027596 |
