Trends and challenges in the effective and sustainable control of Haemonchus contortus infection in sheep. Review.
Haemonchosis, with its very wide distribution, has become a very important production constraint in sheep farms in tropical, subtropical and temperate regions worldwide. Various intrinsic and extrinsic factors determine the survival of Haemonchus contortus and hence the development of the disease in the animal. In general, control of gastrointestinal nematode infestation in sheep relies heavily...
متن کاملScreening of Soil and Sheep Faecal Samples for Predacious Fungi: Isolation and Characterization of the Nematode-Trapping Fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora
Over one-year period, 150 pasture soil samples and 138 sheep faecal samples, collected from different parts of Iran were screened for the presence of nematophagous fungi. The samples were cultured at 25ºC on chloramphenicol-2% water agar (CHF-WA) plates in the presence of Haemonchus contortus third stage larvae (L3) and checked over a two-month period for characteristic conidia, conidiophores a...
متن کاملThe bacterial community associated with the sheep gastrointestinal nematode parasite Haemonchus contortus
Culture-independent methods were used to study the microbiota of adult worms, third-stage larvae and eggs, both in faeces and laid in vitro, of Haemonchus contortus, a nematode parasite of the abomasa of ruminants which is a major cause of production losses and ill-health. Bacteria were identified in eggs, the female reproductive tract and the gut of adult and third-stage larvae (L3). PCR ampli...
متن کاملEmergence of Anthelmintic Resistance in Haemonchus contortus on Organized Sheep and Goat Farms of Sub-Himalayan Region of Northern India
In India, small ruminants contribute in providing economic security to small, landless and marginal farmers. Parasitic diseases are important cause of production losses in small ruminants the world over. Of these, gastrointestinal (GI) nematodosis is a common parasitic infection of small ruminants in India including sub-Himalyan region of northern India (Yadav et al., 2009). It is caused by mix...
متن کاملMicrosatellite Polymorphism in DRB2 Gene and its Relation to Haemonchus Contortus Parasites Fecal Egg Count in Iranian Ghezel Sheep
Gastrointestinal parasites are one of the main sources of economic decline in sheep production around the world. Resistant sheep do not completely reject the disease; they only harbor fewer parasites than susceptible sheep and therefore have a lower fecal egg count. The present research was designed to evaluate microsatellite polymorphism in intron 5 of DRB2 gene and its correlation with H. con...
