The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of protein extracts obtained from the plant Leucaena leucocephala on the nematode parasite Haemonchus contortus. The seeds, shell and cotyledon of L. leucocephala were separated and their proteins extracted using a sodium phosphate buffer, and named as TE (total seed extract), SE (shell extract) and CE (cotyledon extract). Soluble protein ...

This review describes the current research status regarding implementation of predatory fungi in biological control approach bird gastrointestinal (GI) parasitosis. The main GI parasites Galliformes (e.g., broilers, layers, peacocks, pheasants) and Ratites ostriches, emus, rheas) are addressed, as well their impact on farms, zoos, private collections. characteristics biocontrol with briefly des...

Essential oils have been widely used in traditional medicine for the eradication of lice, including head lice, but due to the variability of their constitution the effects may not be reproducible. In an attempt to assess the contribution of their component monoterpenoids, a range of common individual compounds were tested in in vitro toxicity model against both human lice (Pediculus humanus, an...

Background and Aim: Fasciolosis due to Fasciola gigantica is endemic tropical countries hepatica in temperate climates, highly detrimental livestock known as foodborne zoonotic diseases. The strategic control of the disease mainly use chemical anthelmintic. This study aimed evaluate anthelmintic properties Artemisia vulgaris extract on ova adult stages F. gigantica. Materials Methods: Samples w...

Due to high prevalence and large pathogenicity, Haemonchus contortus is the main gastrointestinal nematode in tropical subtropical regions. This species responsible for severe economic losses sheep goat breeders Brazil. The control of this parasite currently compromised, mainly, due anthelmintic resistance. In search natural alternatives, Pterogyne nitens, a native Brazilian tree with potential...

Helminth infections are one of the most prevalent parasitic diseases affecting animals and humans worldwide. Anthelmintic resistance to main drugs used control these in animals, especially ruminants, is a major global problem that needs urgent solutions. The purpose this study was design obtain new benzimidazole (BZ) derivatives evaluate their vitro ovicidal larvicidal activities. Based on prev...
