Sissay M.M., 2007. Helminth parasites of sheep and goats in eastern Ethiopia: Epidemiology, and anthelmintic resistance and its management. Doctoral thesis, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Uppsala, Sweden. ISSN 1652-6880, ISBN 978-91-576-7351-0 A two-year epidemiology study of helminths of small ruminants involved the collection of viscera from 655 sheep and 632 goats from 4 abatto...

Anthelmintic resistance in nematode parasites from goats in Spain.

In a flock of cashmere goats sited in Asturias (NW, Spain) diminished efficacy was observed following treatment with netobimin and consequently a study to demonstrate the existence of anthelmintic resistance and the species of nematode involved was conducted. Results from faecal egg count reduction tests before and after treatment with netobimin or ivermectin showed efficacies of 89.4 (81.8-94....

Anthelmintic Resistance and Management of Gastrointestinal Parasites in Small Ruminants: an Update

INTRODUCTION The problem of anthelmintic resistance in gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) of small ruminants is world wide in distribution. In the past 20 years no new classes of anthelmintics have been developed for use in animals. Anthelmintic resistance has been documented to all classes of anthelmntics and multi-class resistance exists in many flocks. The challenge to veterinarians and produc...

A survey of anthelmintic resistance in nematode parasites of goats in Denmark.

The occurrence of anthelmintic resistance in 15 goat herds in Denmark was investigated using the faecal egg count reduction test (FECRT), egg hatch assay (EHA) for thiabendazole (TBZ) and a microlarval development assay (LDA) for TBZ, levamisole (LEV) and ivermectin (IVM). Resistance to both benzimidazole (BZ) and levamisole (LEV) anthelmintics was detected on six farms, and to both BZs and IVM...
