Gastrointestinal nematodes resistant to anthelmintics have been reported in several regions of Brazil, and they may be associated with economic losses for the cattle industry. This study aimed to evaluate the resistance status of gastrointestinal nematodes from naturally infected beef cattle to several commercially available anthelmintics, as well as to test the efficacy of combinations of anth...

backgrounds: genus trichostrongylus (nematoda: trichostrongylidae) is one of the most impor­tant zoonotic nematodes with wide geographic distribution in the world. the purpose of the present study was to describe morphological and morphometrical characteristics of male trichostrongylus species, currently prevalent in domestic ruminants of khuzestan province , south­west iran. methods: gastro-in...

Insight into the dynamics of parasite-host relationships of higher vertebrates requires an understanding of two important features: the nature of transmission and the development of acquired immunity in the host. A dominant hypothesis proposes that acquired immunity develops with the cumulative exposure to infection, and consequently predicts a negative relationship between peak intensity of in...
