Strongylids are a group of worms that infect the digestive tract horses consisting Strongylus vulgaris, equinus, edentates and Cyathostomes. There is no reported prevalence data on infection in East Java. Study urgently needed because this worm one causes zoonotic diseases. This study aimed to identify morphologically. Identification using morphological methods. A total 65 horse faeces Java, i....

The morphology of asteroid bodies in equine arteries is demonstrated by light microscopy as well as by scanning and transmission electron microscopy combined with chemical analysis. Asteroid bodies first occur in horses at four weeks of age in all investigated tissues except the esophagus and always are located in the subendothelial space. The number, shape, ultrastructure and chemical composit...

Twenty adult, domestic short hair cats were randomly allocated into four groups of five cats and housed in separated cages. Each cat was infested with 25 fleas Ctenocephalides felis felis and 25 Ctenocephalides felis strongylus and 2 days later (day 0) the cats in group 1, 2 and 3 received a spot on application of selamectin, imidacloprid or fipronil, respectively, while the cats in group four ...

Introduction Gastrointestinal parasitism remains a significant health problem in horses, although the nature of the problem has changed in the past 20 years. It is probably fair to state that ivermectin revolutionized control of gastrointestinal parasites of horses, but the use of ivermectin, or any other anthelmintic, did not eliminate equine gastrointestinal parasites. When administered at re...

Cathespin L-like proteases (CPLs), characterized from a wide range of helminths, are significant in helminth biology. For example, in Caenorhabditis elegans CPL is essential for embryogenesis. Here, we report a cathepsin L-like gene from three species of strongyles that parasitize the horse, and describe the isolation of a cpl gene (Sv-cpl-1) from Strongylus vulgaris, the first such from equine...
