Intestinal strongyles are the most problematic endoparasites of equids as a result of their wide distribution and the spread of resistant isolates throughout the world. While abundant literature can be found on the extent of anthelmintic resistance across continents, empirical knowledge about associated risk factors is missing. This study brought together results from anthelmintic efficacy test...

Background In May 2008 two sheep from a farm in Ylikiiminki (65°N 26°E) were autopsied at Finnish Food Safety Authority Evira in Oulu and diagnosed with a Haemonchus contortus infection. Haemonchus contortus has a few years ago been reported on the island of Hailuoto just outside Oulu, where it led to a lethal infection. Although this to sheep highly pathogenic nematode has been detected in Fin...

Between June 1999 and August 2000, the effects of feeding medicated urea-molasses supplement blocks on the growth of dairy heifers in a marginal area of central Kenya were assessed by comparing the live-weight gain of supplemented and unsupplemented heifers grazing the same pasture. Thirty-nine heifers with an average age of 9.6 months were initially treated orally with albendazole (10 mg/kg bo...

BACKGROUND Information about the clinical and clinicopathologic aspects of cerebrospinal nematodiasis (CN) in camelids is limited. HYPOTHESIS Clinical and therapeutic variables will be identified as factors predictive of survival. ANIMALS Client-owned camelids suspected of having CN admitted to Purdue University between 1995 and 2015. METHODS A retrospective study was performed. A diagnos...

Thelaziasis is an infestation caused by the parasite Thelazia which is transmitted from one host to another host by the intermediate host face fly. Face fly is a non-penetrate secretophagic or tear feeding flies of the genera Musca. Thelazia is a genus of parasitic round worms that affects the eyes of numerous domestic animals, including cattle, dogs, cats, sheep, goats and other livestock. Man...

Dioctophyma renale infection is found in a wide range of mammalian species, typically in temperate areas of the world. Here, we report for the first time, the parasitism of a domestic dog by D. renale in Hamedan, Iran, a mountainous cold region, lacking significant amounts of rainfall, high humidity and temperature. A 2.5 yr old male mixed breed dog was presented with a two months history of pr...

Fenbendazole (FBZ) is a common, highly efficacious broad-spectrum anthelmintic drug used to treat and limit rodent pinworm infections. However, the effect of its prophylactic use on the immune response of rodents is largely undefined. The non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse is a model commonly used to study type 1 diabetes (T1D). Parasitic infections will inhibit diabetes development in NOD mice; th...

It is recognized that the clinical efficacy of single dose benzimidazoles (BZs) against the nematode, Trichuris suis of pigs and the closely related Trichuris trichiura in humans is only poor to moderate. Recent in vitro studies have indicated that a low uptake of fenbendazole (FBZ) in T. suis may be responsible for its poor efficacy. The aim of this study was to investigate this hypothesis by ...
