Parasitic nematodes have significant detrimental effects on the profitability of beef production in South Dakota. Administering anthelmintics can be inconvenient and expensive when treating cattle on pasture. Free-choice anthelmintics were developed to improve the ability of beef producers to effectively deworm cattle without passing them through a cattle chute. The convenience of free-choice a...

Full-length cDNAs encoding macrophage inhibitory factor-2 (MIF-2) were cloned from Teladorsagia circumcincta (TcMIF-2) and Haemonchus contortus (HcMIF-2). TcMIF-2 HcMIF-2 cDNA (342 bp) encoded proteins of 114 amino acids, each which was present as a single band about 16 kDa on SDS-PAGE. Multiple alignments the protein sequences showed homology 84% between HcMIF-2, 54–76% with MIF-2s seven nemat...

Gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) infections are a serious problem in livestock production due to the great economic losses they cause. Their control is increasingly difficult because of rapid development drug resistance and limited number available drugs. Therefore, this study evaluated 18 aminoalcohol 16 diamine derivatives against eggs, first third stage larvae from susceptible resistant isol...

The abomasal nematode Ostertagia ostertagi is a major causal agent contributing to production inefficiencies in the cattle industry in temperate regions of the world. Protective immunity to infections develops very slowly and resistance to reinfection manifests only after prolonged exposure. Mechanisms underlying the development of protective immunity remain largely unexplored. Immune animals, ...
