Githiori, John B. 2004. Evaluation of Anthelmintic Properties of Ethnoveterinary Plant Preparations Used as Livestock Dewormers by Pastoralists and Small Holder Farmers in Kenya. Doctoral thesis ISSN 1401-6257, ISBN 91 576 6666 0 Parasitic nematodes, especially Haemonchus contortus, are among the most common and economically important causes of infectious diseases of sheep and goats owned by pa...

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...

Parasitic diseases causing considerable losses are one of the most common infections in humans, animals, and birds. This review emphasizes devastation poultry industry by parasites use bioactive components plants as an alternative to control damage. Synthetic medicines that used anthelmintic lead emergence resistance helminths well adversely affect birds reduce their production. Different compo...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Control of nematode parasite infections relies largely on anthelmintic drugs, several of which act on nicotinic ACh receptors (nAChRs), and there are concerns about the development of resistance. There is an urgent need for development of new compounds to overcome resistance and novel anthelmintic drug targets. We describe the functional expression and pharmacological cha...

Anthelmintic drug resistance in livestock parasites is already widespread and in recent years there has been an increasing level of anthelmintic drug selection pressure applied to parasitic nematode populations in humans leading to concerns regarding the emergence of resistance. However, most parasitic nematodes, particularly those of humans, are difficult experimental subjects making mechanist...

BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal nematodes are an important cause of reduced performance in cattle. Previous studies in Europe showed that after anthelmintic treatment an average gain in milk production of around 1 kg per day/cow can be expected. However, (1) these studies have mainly evaluated group-based anthelmintic treatments during the grazing season or at housing and (2) little is known about ...

BACKGROUND Embelia schimperi has been used for the treatment of intestinal parasites especially tapeworm infestations for centuries in Ethiopia. However, there is lack of scientific based evidences regarding the efficacy, safety and phytochemical analysis of this plant despite its frequent use as an anthelmintic. This study has therefore evaluated the efficacy and acute toxicity of E. schimperi...

Gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) infection can impair milk production (MP) in dairy cows. To investigate whether MP would be optimized by spring targeted-selective anthelmintic treatment in grazing cows, we assessed (1) the effect on MP of an anthelmintic treatment applied 1.5 to 2 months after turn-out, and (2) herd and individual indicators associated with the post-treatment MP response. A ra...

Objective: This study observed the antibacterial, antifungal (aquatic and pathogenic fungi), and anthelmintic properties of Lactobacillus plantarum (LP) KP894100 and Lactobacillus acidophilus (LC) KP942831, isolated from a dairy product. Methods: Lactic acid bacteria traditionally used to improve human health. For in vitro antibacterial, antifungal, and antihelminthic studies of intracellular c...
