This study investigated the gastrointestinal parasitism by helminths and protozoa in sheep (Ovis aries) Santa Inês breed, municipality of Lajes, Rio Grande do Norte. Monthly, from April 2005 to August 2007, stool samples were collected from two tracer lambs in the first day of the experiment and performed a necropsy of these animals in 44th day. A total of 64 lambs were sampled, but only 62 lam...

A case of Trichuris ovis infection in a lamb is presented. In June 2012 a herd of 12 infected with T. ovis lambs in Brestnik (Southern Bulgaria) were discovered. A diarrhea and loss in body weight in 2 lambs have been observed. Despite antibiotic treatment one of the animals died. Parasitological examination was done. During necropsy of the gastro-intestinal tract, adult worms in the caecum wer...

The decline in wild animal habitats and the uncontrolled growth of their population make these animals come closer to human settlements. The aim of the study was to identify parasitic infections in wild animals in the selected area, and to specify the hazards they create for humans. In more than 66% of the analysed faecal samples from wild boar, hares, roe deer, deer and fallow deer various dev...

background: cross antigenicity is the major problem in developing a reliable tool for immunodiagnosis and immunoprophylaxis of parasitic diseases. mixed infection due to different types of gastrointestinal parasites is more common than single species infection under field condition. methods: the present study was undertaken to detect antigenic cross-reactivity among haemonchus contortus, oesoph...

UHAZY, L. S., and J. C. HOLMES. 1971. Helminths of the Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep in Western Canada. Can. J. Zool. 49: 507-512. Thirty-six Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep (Ovis c. canadensis), 33 from four areas in Alberta and 3 from Kootenay National Park, British Columbia, were examined for helminths. Data from these exammations were supplemented by examination of 462 fecal samples from the sa...

In the spring of 2009 (April/May) the Denver Zoological Foundation in collaboration with the Mongolian Academy of Sciences conducted a fi eld coprological assessment feasibility study at the Ikh Nart Nature Reserve in southeastern Mongolia. Our initial effort was directed at fi nding simple methodologies that would work consistently in the fi eld for identifying some of the enteric parasites fo...
