The in vitro anthelmintic effect of the extracts on Haemonchus contortus (H. contortus) three forage species tropical dry forest is known; however, there no information about effects extract partitions, nor their chemical composition. objectives this study were to evaluate ovicidal activity H. partitions Gliricidia sepium, Leucaena leucocephala, and Pithecellobium dulce, identify compounds pres...

Haemonchus cysteine proteases, because of their apparent critical function in worm physiology, are considered important candidates in the immunological control of haemonchosis in sheep. Only limited information is, however, available on the immunoprotective properties of these molecules in goats. In the present study cysteine proteases of Haemonchus contortus adult worms isolated from a goat st...

This study aimed to evaluate the genetic resistance of Pakistani goat breeds (Beetal, Teddy, Angora, Nachi) against Haemonchus contortus. In total, 13 animals of each breed, irrespective of sex, were selected. Following artificial infection with 5000 L3 (third stage) larvae of Haemonchus contortus to each animal, susceptibility and resistance of each breed was then assessed on the basis of body...

The study assessed the effect of dietary supplementation of leaf meal mixture (LMM) containing condensed tannins (CT) on feed intake, nutrient utilization and performance of sheep infected with Haemonchus contortus. Eighteen adult sheep of similar age and body weight (25.03±1.52) were included in this study and out of these, 12 sheep were infected with single dose of infective third stage larva...

Haemonchus contortus is a parasitic gastrointestinal nematode, and its excretory and secretory products (HcESPs) interact extensively with the host cells. In this study, we report the interaction of proteins from HcESPs at different developmental stages to goat peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in vivo using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. A total of 407 HcESPs that int...

Profitable sheep and goat production in the USA is severely limited by gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) parasitism, particularly by Haemonchus contortus. Copper oxide wire particles (COWP) have anti-parasitic properties in the diet of small ruminants, but efficacy of COWP may differ between sheep and goats. In a study with weaned kids (Kiko x Spanish cross, 6 months old) and lambs (Katahdin or D...

Parasitic nematodes are of major economic importance in livestock. An alternative for the control of parasites is phytotherapy. This study evaluated the efficacy of Cymbopogon citratus decoction (CcD), C. citratus essential oil (CcEo) and citral against Haemonchus contortus using in vitro egg hatch test (EHT) and larval development test (LDT) and an in vivo test using a Meriones unguiculatus (g...

BACKGROUND Haemonchus contortus and Trichostrongylus spp. are reported to be the most prevalent and highly pathogenic parasites in livestock, particularly in small ruminants. However, the routine conventional tool used in Malaysia could not differentiate the species accurately and therefore limiting the understanding of the co-infections between these two genera among livestock in Malaysia. Thi...

Haemonchus contortus poses a severe hazard to the healthy development of sheep industry and threatens welfare sheep. Ivermectin is primary anthelmintic used for prevention treatment H. parasitism. However, widespread uncontrolled application ivermectin has resulted in spread resistant strains contortus. P-glycoprotein (P-gp) plays important roles pharmacology toxicology ivermectin, changes P-gp...
