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

Anthelmintic Resistance in South American Camelids

INTRODUCTION Anthelmintic resistance is defined as “a greater frequency of individuals within a population able to tolerate doses of a compound than in the normal population of the same species.” 1 Anthelmintic resistance of gastrointestinal (GI) nematodes, particularly Haemonchus contortus, to commonly used anthelmintics has become a significant problem in small ruminants (sheep and goats) in ...

A review on the use of herbs and spices as alternative compounds to manage helminthosis in small ruminants

Gastrointestinal parasites (worms) in sheep and goats are common in all world regions. Parasite burdens have undermined survival of producers and are a limiting factor for farm profitability. Additionally, rampant worm resistance to commercially available anthelmintics adds complexity to parasite management plans and researchers have been looking for alternative compounds with effective anthelm...

Anthelmintic resistance of gastrointestinal cattle nematodes Anthelminthicumresistentie van gastro-intestinale rundernematoden

Anthelmintic resistance of parasites in small ruminants, cattle and horses is increasing worldwide as a consequence of the over usage of the currently available products. In Belgium, Cooperia oncophora is the most common cattle nematode in which resistance, especially against macrocyclic lactones, occurs. Once resistance has been diagnosed, a change to another drug with a different mode of acti...

Evaluation of anthelmintic activity of Nigerian ethnoveterinary plants; Cassia occidentalis Guiera senegalensis

Gastrointestinal nematode infections pose a major threat to small ruminant production. is a helminth parasite that feeds on blood of small ruminant animals and causes anaemia, anorexia, loss of condition, and eventual death of the host animal. The parasite is particularly found in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide [1]. In Nigeria and most developing countries, parasitic helminths cause...
