Comparative Response of the West African Dwarf Goats to Experimental Infections with Red Sokoto and West African Dwarf Goat Isolates of Haemonchus contortus
Response of the West African Dwarf (WAD) goats to two different isolates of Haemonchus contortus, the Red Sokoto (RS) goat isolate (RSHc) and the WAD goat isolate (WADHc) (isolated from WAD goats), was studied by experimental infections of 4-6-month-old male WAD goat kids. Group 1 and Group 2 goats were each infected with 4500 infective larvae (L3) of RSHc and WADHc, respectively. Group 3 anima...
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 کاملThe potential to control Haemonchus contortus in indigenous South African goats with copper oxide wire particles
The high prevalence of resistance of Haemonchus contortus to all major anthelmintic groups has prompted investigations into alternative control methods in South Africa, including the use of copper oxide wire particle (COWP) boluses. To assess the efficacy of COWP against H. contortus in indigenous South African goats, 18 male faecal egg-count-negative goats were each given ca.1200 infective lar...
متن کاملAssociation of Trypanosome Infection with Sperm Antibodies Production in Red Sokoto (maradi) Goats
A total of 1021 randomly selected serum samples of adult male goats that had been screened for trypanosome infection were assayed for sperm antibodies using the immunoperoxidase staining technique. The result of the trypanosome screening revealed that 586(57.39%) goats were positive for trypanosome infection, while 435(42.61%) were negative. The assay for sperm antibodies showed that 482(47.21%...
متن کاملImmunodiagnosis of Haemonchus contortus infection in sheep by indirect enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
Indirect plate enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was standardized and evaluated for its effectivenessin immunodiagnosis of haemonchosis in experimental and clinical cases in sheep by using somatic wholeadult antigen of H. contortus. Plate ELISA was standardized using 5 μg/well antigen concentration with1:100 and 1:1000 of sera and conjugate dilution. Indirect plate ELISA was able to demonstrate...
