Anthelmintics for Dictyocaulus filaria in Sheep

Studies on Dictyocaulus filaria. I. Modifications of laboratory procedures.

ANDERSON, P. J. S. and VERSTER, ANNA, 1971. Studies on Dictyocaulus filaria. I. Modifications of laboratory procedures. Onderstepoort]. vet. Res. 38 (3), 181-184 (1971). Techniques used in a study of the life-cycle of Dictyocaulus filaria (Rudolphi, 1809) are described. First stage larvae migrate from faecal pellets placed in water. Infective larvae are cultured in clean water at room temperatu...

Bile enhances the infectivity of third stage larvae of Dictyocaulus filaria.

TITOY, G.A.P. & SCHWAN, E.V. 1994. Bile enhances the infectivity of third stage larvae of Dictyocaulus filaria. Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research, 61:395-396 Incubating metacyclic larvae of Dictyocaulus filaria in ovine bile solution prior to per os infection significantly enhanced their infectivity to sheep. INTRODUCTION Although there are several reports on the effect of bile on th...

Analysis of the transcriptome of adult Dictyocaulus filaria and comparison with Dictyocaulus viviparus, with a focus on molecules involved in host-parasite interactions.

Parasitic nematodes cause diseases of major economic importance in animals. Key representatives are species of Dictyocaulus (=lungworms), which cause bronchitis (=dictyocaulosis, commonly known as "husk") and have a major adverse impact on the health of livestock. In spite of their economic importance, very little is known about the immunomolecular biology of these parasites. Here, we conducted...

Phylogeny of Dictyocaulus (lungworms) from eight species of ruminants based on analyses of ribosomal RNA data.

In this study, we conducted phylogenetic analyses of nematode parasites within the genus Dictyocaulus (superfamily Trichostrongyloidea). Lungworms from cattle (Bos taurus), domestic sheep (Ovis aries), European fallow deer (Dama dama), moose (Alces alces), musk ox (Ovibos moschatus), red deer (Cervus elaphus), reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) and roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) were obtained and the...
