Controlling Strongyle Parasites of Horses: A Mandate for Change

چکیده
Future approaches to equine parasite control must seek greater sustainability by exploiting inherent host resistance and acquired immunity, implementing management procedures that reduce transmission, and using anthelmintic treatments much less frequently and only in selected members of a herd.

متن کاملStrongyle anthelmintic resistance in horses and cattle from Greece
Gastrointestinal nematode parasitism is an important cause of livestock disease, reduced productivity and welfare. In most cases, control of parasites is based on the use of anthelmintics or on the combination of anthelmintics and pasture management or recently, other alternatives to the use of chemicals. However, the frequent use of anthelmintics can select for resistant nematodes. Anthelminti...

متن کاملStrongyle egg shedding consistency in horses on farms using selective therapy in Denmark.
Knowledge of horses that shed the same number of strongyle eggs over time can lead to the optimization of parasite control strategies. This study evaluated shedding of strongyle eggs in 424 horses on 10 farms when a selective anthelmintic treatment regime was used over a 3-year period. Faecal egg counts were performed twice yearly, and horses exceeding 200 eggs per gram (EPG) of faeces were tre...
