چکیده
background: haemonchus contortus causes severe economic losses in small ru-minants, so this study was conducted to study the uv effect on h. contortus larvae and its protective effect. methods: sixteen male goats were divided into 5 groups, control infected, con-trol uninfected and uv 30minutes exposure; uv 60minutes exposure and uv booster 60minutes exposure. the uv groups were exposed to uv irradiation at wave length 254 nm for 30 and 60 minutes. the uv booster 60min was ad-ministrated 2 doses of exposed larvae with an interval of one month. all groups except the control negative one were challenged for 42 days from the beginning. results: in uv booster 60 min had reduction in egg count per gram feces and worm burden (93% & 34 % respectively). the establishment rate and relative fertility declined in comparison with other groups. these parameters were simi-lar in control infected, uv 30min and uv 60min groups. pcv value of uv booster 60min group was similar to uninfected group. after two weeks from the booster dose of irradiated larvae, increased levels of antibody were found in goats of uv booster 60min group. conclusion: two doses of uv 60min exposure, with an interval of one month, gave reduction not only in egg per gram feces but in worm burden as well.

متن کاملEffects of condensed tannins on goats experimentally infected with Haemonchus contortus.
Although the use of tanniferous plants or condensed tannins as an alternative to anthelmintics to control gastrointestinal nematodes has been largely documented in sheep, studies remain scarce in goats. The objective of this study was therefore to assess the possible impact of condensed tannins in goats infected with adult Haemonchus contortus. Two groups of cull goats were experimentally infec...
متن کاملThe nutritional status affects the complete blood count of goats experimentally infected with Haemonchus contortus
BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) remains the most important pathogenic constraint of small ruminant production worldwide. The improvement of the host immune response against GIN though breeding for improved animal resistance, vaccination and nutritional supplementation appear as very promising methods. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of four nutritional statu...
متن کاملPathological and immunohistochemical study of the abomasum and abomasal lymph nodes in goats experimentally infected with Haemonchus contortus.
Histopathological changes and the distributions of T and B lymphocytes and IgG producing plasma cells were recorded in the abomasum and abomasal lymph nodes of goats 3, 7 and 21 weeks post-infection (wpi) after an experimental infection with H. contortus. The low rate of worm recovery by 3 wpi (5.6%) might have been due to larvae death as suggested by the presence of granulomas in the abomasal ...
متن کاملMoisture Stress Effects on Survival of Infective Haemonchus contortus Larvae.
Water was evaporated from infective Haemonchus contortus larvae suspended in tap, distilled and triple-distilled water, and the nematodes were then exposed to 50% and 75% relative humidity (RH) at 20, 30, 40, and 50 C. Sample groups were rehydrated 4 hr daily in similar quality water, observed for motility, then returned to the same RH and temperature and re-evaporated. This was continued until...
متن کاملVariability of resistance in goats infected with Haemonchus contortus in Brazil.
The variability between and within breeds with respect to nematode egg counts (EPG), packed cell volume (PCV) and hemoglobin (Hb) was studied in 36 yearling female goats of the Caninde (15), Bhuj (6) and Anglo-Nubian (15) breeds, exposed to Haemonchus contortus. Nematode-free goats were turned to a contaminated paddock in late February. From then on, fecal egg per gram counts (EPG), packed cell...
