Anthelmintic Resistance
Parasitic gastroenteritis, caused by roundworms (nematodes), is well recognised as a major production-limiting disease, particularly in lambs. Effective parasite control has become heavily dependent on anthelmintics. The development of anthelmintic resistance by roundworms poses a potential crisis for sheep producers and measures to avert and delay this are essential. This report summarises the...
متن کاملAnthelmintic drugs and nematicides: studies in Caenorhabditis elegans.
Parasitic nematodes infect many species of animals throughout the phyla, including humans. Moreover, nematodes that parasitise plants are a global problem for agriculture. As such, these nematodes place a major burden on human health, on livestock production, on the welfare of companion animals and on crop production. In the 21st century there are two major challenges posed by the wide-spread p...
متن کاملAnthelmintic tolerance in free-living and facultative parasitic isolates of Halicephalobus (Panagrolaimidae).
Studies on anthelmintic resistance in equine parasites do not include facultative parasites. Halicephalobus gingivalis is a free-living bacterivorous nematode and a known facultative parasite of horses with a strong indication of some form of tolerance to common anthelmintic drugs. This research presents the results of an in vitro study on the anthelmintic tolerance of several isolates of Halic...
متن کاملGenomic introgression mapping of field-derived multiple-anthelmintic resistance in Teladorsagia circumcincta
Preventive chemotherapy has long been practiced against nematode parasites of livestock, leading to widespread drug resistance, and is increasingly being adopted for eradication of human parasitic nematodes even though it is similarly likely to lead to drug resistance. Given that the genetic architecture of resistance is poorly understood for any nematode, we have analyzed multidrug resistant T...
متن کاملAnthelmintic resistance in nematodes of horses.
Suppressive anthelmintic treatment strategies originally designed to control Strongylus vulgaris in horses were extremely successful in reducing morbidity and mortality from parasitic disease. Unfortunately, this strategy has inadvertently resulted in the selection of drug-resistant cyathostomes (Cyathostominea), which are now considered the principal parasitic pathogens of horses. Resistance i...
