A total of 157 goats, irrespective of sex, breed and age from an organized farm were screened for gastrointestinal nematode infection for a period of one year i.e. from February 2006 to January 2007. Occurances of G.I. nematodes in different age group were also studied. The goats below 1 year were found to carry significantly higher nematode burden than the goats of 1-3 years and above 3 years ...

previous studies on intestinal parasitic infections in different parts of isfahan province revealed high infection rates and wide distribution of such infections in the province. to be added is the present report from dortche-piaz, a city with 14,000 population, where stool samples of 700 individual (1/20 of the whole population(, selected by random sampling, were collected the and examined by ...

Macaca fascicularis or commonly known as long-tailed macaques, are nonhuman primates that increasingly vulnerable in becoming natural reservoirs for many microorganisms including gastrointestinal (GI) parasites, largely due to anthropogenic activities. This study was conducted detect and compare GI parasites M. found densely urbanized settings. The fecal samples of the macaques were collected a...

The present study was performed to analyze molecularly the phylogenetic positions of human-infecting Trichostrongylus species in Mazandaran Province, Iran, which is an endemic area for trichostrongyliasis. DNA from 7 Trichostrongylus infected stool samples were extracted by using in-house (IH) method. PCR amplification of ITS2-rDNA region was performed, and products were sequenced. Phylogenetic...

Worm-free Merino yearlings were dosed with either a mixture of infective larvae of Trichostrongylus axei and Ostertagia circumcincta or with O. circumcincta only, and challenged 90-93 days later with infective larvae of Haemonchus contortus. Neither of these methods protected sheep against challenged and slight protection was afforded sheep predosed with T. axei and O. circumcincta and challeng...

The helminths of 3 blue duikers, Cephalophus monticola, from 3 nature reserves in Natal were collected, counted and identified. Taenia hydatigena larvae, a race of Cooperia rotundispiculum, gongylonema angistris, Trichostrongylus falculatus and Trichostrongylus rugatus appear to be new parasite records for blue duikers in South Africa.
