متن کاملImmunological responses of sheep to Haemonchus contortus.
Infections with Haemonchus contortus are a major constraint on ruminant health world-wide. Young lambs are very sensitive to Haemonchus infection. Older lambs and sheep acquire immunity after a continuous or seasonal exposure to the parasite. The mechanisms underlying immunity are still not completely understood. Antibodies, in particular local IgA and IgE, certainly play a role. The role of Ig...
متن کاملEvaluation of Copper Supplementation to Control Haemonchus contortus Infections of Sheep in Sweden
A pen study was conducted to assess the effect of providing daily copper mineral supplement, or copper wire particle (COWP) capsules, on established or incoming mixed nematode infections in young sheep. For lambs with established (6 week old) infections, COWP resulted in 97% and 56% reduction of the adult and early L4 stages of H. contortus, respectively, compared with controls (p<0.001). Addit...
متن کاملGenetic parameters for resistance to Haemonchus contortus in Merino sheep in South Africa.
Resistance to natural infections of Haemonchus contortus (wireworm) was studied in Merino sheep. From February 1995 to July 1996 data were collected from the OTK Merino Stud on the farm Wildebeesfontein near Hendrina in Mpumalanga province. From March 1998 to January 2000 another Merino flock at Irene in Gauteng province was included in the study. In both cases, 50 randomly-chosen animals from ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Genetic Resistance to Haemonchus Contortus Infection in Pakistani Sheep Breeds
This study was conducted on four sheep breeds, Karakul, Kajli, Thalli and Kachhi for their natural resistance against Haemonchus contortus. After deworming, 13 animals of each breed were ingested with doses of 5000 L3 of Haemonchus contortus and then evaluation of each was made on the basis of fecal egg count (FEC), body weight, FAMACHA score and packed cell volume (PCV) at different days of in...
