Strongyle infections in ponies. I. Response to intermittent thiabendazole treatments. (1/925)

A group of seven ponies naturally infected with large numbers of small strongyles and raised under conditions to minimize reinfection were treated periodically over a three year span with thiabendazole at the rate of 44 mg/kg body weight. Based on the absence of worm eggs in the feces following each treatment, thiabendazole removed the adult strongyles present with a new population subsequently developing by maturation of inhibited larvae. It took as many as four or five treatments to eliminate or reduce significantly the worm burdens present in the ponies under the conditions of this study. Strongyle eggs started to reappear in the feces about six weeks after treatment and following the first treatment the mean egg counts rose to the pretreatment level. On successive treatments the interval for worm eggs to appear in the feces lengthened and mean egg counts never rose quite as high as immediate pretreatment levels. Hematological changes were not marked, although a small steady increase in the mean hemoglobin values and an equivalent small decrease in the mean eosinophil counts occurred in all ponies following each successive treatment. The study supports the rationale of regular anthelmintic treatment of horses in that even in the absence of reinfection, new burdens of adult worms develop following treatment. (+info)

Strongyle infections in ponies. II. Reinfection of treated animals. (2/925)

Five of seven ponies whose strongyle worm burdens had previously been removed or markedly reduced by repeated thiabendazole treatments were reinfected with doses ranging from 100,000 to 500,000 small strongyle infective larvae. Reinfection of ponies resulted in the development of clinical signs characterized by abnormal feces, marked loss of weight and delayed shedding of winter hair coats. An abrupt increase in circulating eosinophils occurred during the first three weeks following reinfection. Patent infections developed in all ponies with worm eggs appearing in the feces from 12 to 15 weeks after receiving infective larvae. Worm egg outputs followed a cyclic pattern with approximately four to five peaks in egg output per year. There was an abrupt drop in the high worm egg counts in two untreated ponies approximately two and a half years after reinfection. No worms were recovered in the feces of these animals when they were subsequently treated, suggesting that a depletion in the number of inhibited larvae present in these ponies might have occurred.

Congenital transmission of Schistosoma japonicum in pigs. (3/925)

Congenital transmission of Schistosoma japonicum in pigs was investigated by experimentally infecting sows at four weeks gestation (n = 3), 10 weeks gestation (n = 3), or a few weeks prior to insemination (n = 2). None of the piglets born to sows infected prior to insemination or in early pregnancy were found to be infected. However, all of the piglets (n = 26) born to sows infected at 10 weeks gestation were found to harbor schistosomes with S. japonicum eggs recovered from both their feces and livers. The findings show that congenital S. japonicum infection of pigs can occur if sows are infected during mid-to-late pregnancy and may have important implications not only for pigs but also for other mammalian hosts of schistosomes, including humans.

Enterotoxin-producing bacteria and parasites in stools of Ethiopian children with diarrhoeal disease. (4/925)

Enterotoxinogenic bacteria were isolated from 131 (37%) of 354 Ethiopian infants and children with acute gastrointestinal symptoms. Only one of these isolates belonged to the classical enteropathogenic serotypes of Esch. coli. Two colonies from each patient were isolated and tested for production of enterotoxin by the rabbit ileal loop test, the rabbit skin test, and an adrenal cell assay. However, only 38% of the isolated enterotoxinogenic strains were Esch. coli; the others belonged to Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Proteus, Citrobacter, Serratia, and Aeromonas. In 18 patients both isolates were toxinogenic and belonged to different species. The incidence of intestinal parasites was 35% with no apparent correlation to the occurrence of toxinogenic bacteria in the stools. (+info)

Effects of in vitro culture methods on morphological development and infectivity of Strongyloides venezuelensis filariform larvae. (5/925)

The effects of in vitro culture methods on morphological development and infectivity of Strongyloides venezuelensis filariform larvae (L3) to rats were investigated. A significantly higher body length was observed in L3 from filter paper culture (597.3 +/- 32.2 microns) than those in fecal (509.9 +/- 35.0 microns) and nutrient broth culture (503.3 +/- 31.0 microns) (P < 0.05). Larval infectivity was assessed by exposing rats to 1,000 L3 from each culture and worms were recovered from the lungs and small intestines. Recovery rate of these worms did not show any significant difference. A significantly greater body length of adults was recorded in those corresponding to the L3 harvested from filter paper (2,777.5 +/- 204.4 microns) and nutrient broth culture (2,732.5 +/- 169.8 microns) than those corresponding to the L3 obtained from fecal culture (2,600.5 +/- 172.4 microns) (P < 0.05). Although worm fecundity and EPG counts differed among culture methods but worm burdens and course of infection did not. These findings suggest that the methods of cultures have a significant effect on the morphological development of the larvae to the L3 stage, but do not influence the infectivity to rats. (+info)

Survey of Fascioloides magna in farmed wapiti in Alberta. (6/925)

The formalin-ethyl acetate sedimentation procedure was used to detect ova of the giant liver fluke, Fascioloides magna, in feces of farmed wapiti in Alberta. Twenty (3.2%) of the 629 fecal samples examined contained ova of F. magna. Thirteen (33.3%) of the 39 farms surveyed had wapiti positive for F. magna. The presence of F. magna in farmed wapiti north of the North Saskatchewan River is confirmed, and 3 areas where the infection has become endemic are identified. (+info)

Independent evaluation of the Nigrosin-Eosin modification of the Kato-Katz technique. (7/925)

A new modified quantitative Kato-Katz thick-smear technique for the detection of helminth eggs in faeces preserves hookworm eggs unaltered for a long time, while with the classic Kato-Katz technique, they disappear after approximately 2 h in tropical climates and thus slides must be read within hours after sample collection. For an independent comparison of these two laboratory techniques, faecal smears from 263 school children were examined in two surveys and prevalence, intensity of infection and costs of surveys calculated. There was no statistical difference between the methods in detecting prevalence and stratification of the sample in different classes of intensity. While there was no statistical difference for the arithmetic mean of the epg for T. trichiura and only a small difference for A. lumbricoides (P=0.04), we observed a highly significant difference for hookworm mean intensities of infections (P<0.001). From the public health viewpoint both methods provided similar results, but due to its simplicity and widespread use the classical Kato-Katz technique remains first choice for community investigation of soil-transmitted nematodes. However, the Nigrosin-Eosin approach has several advantages and can be a valuable alternative in certain circumstances. (+info)

Effect of anthelmintic treatment on sexual maturation in prepubertal beef heifers. (8/925)

Heifers treated with ivermectin at weaning have been reported to reach puberty at a younger age and lighter weight than untreated heifers. We tested the hypothesis that heifers administered ivermectin would respond with earlier follicular development and a greater LH response to a 1-mg estradiol-17beta challenge (E2C) than untreated heifers. Fall-born Angus heifers (n = 32) were randomly assigned on 284 +/- 9 d of age (215.5 +/- 20.8 kg) to receive ivermectin (IVR) or albendazole (ALB), IVR + ALB, or to remain as untreated controls (CONT). Each group (n = 8) was housed separately in adjacent pens throughout the trial and managed to gain .8 kg/heifer on a ration containing 13.2% CP, 58.8% TDN, and 49.9% DM. The CONT heifers received an additional 2.27 kg/heifer of corn silage and 1.59 kg/heifer of corn daily to maintain ADG at comparable levels. Individual body weight was recorded weekly, and nematode eggs per gram (EPG) of feces were measured every 21 d. Ultrasonography was performed on alternate days starting 2 wk prior to E2C to characterize follicular wave patterns. Follicles were separated into classes (C1 [3 to 5 mm], C2 [6 to 9 mm], and C3 [10 mm]) and sizes (largest [LF], second [SLF], third [TLF], and fourth largest follicles [FLF]). The sizes of the regressing dominant follicle 1 (DF1) and the progressing dominant follicle 2 (DF2) were also determined. Serum concentrations of LH were determined from hourly jugular blood samples collected 8 to 24 h after injection of E2C. The IVR + ALB treatment group had more C3 follicles than ALB and CONT (P < .07). The IVR-treated heifers had larger TLF than ALB and CONT (P < .04). The IVR- and IVR + ALB-treated heifers had larger FLF and DF2 than ALB and CONT (P < .1). Least squares means for DF2 were 9.5 +/- .5, 8.0 +/- .4, 9.5 +/- .3 and 8.3 +/- .3 mm, for IVR, ALB, IVR + ALB and CONT, respectively (P = .02 for treatment effect). The E2C-induced serum LH concentration did not differ with respect to treatment. We conclude that heifers administered IVR display increased follicular development, supporting our earlier investigations regarding reduced age at puberty in heifers treated with IVR near weaning.

Dewormers are still necessary, however management is a very essential aspect of a parasite control program and one that is often overlooked. (umn.edu)
With the development of the safe and effective oxibendazole dewormers in the 1960s, and the subsequent release of Ivermectin as a broad-spectrum, easily administered paste, horse owners have felt, for nearly half a century, that they are winning the war against equine parasites. (equimed.com)
But administering a wormer that has no effect on the particular parasites attacking your horse offers no benefit, and worse, can further the growing parasite resistance to dewormers-a serious problem for all horse owners. (doversaddlery.com)
Effective use of dewormers while preventing parasite resistance. (iastate.edu)
The more dewormers are used, the more likely parasites are to develop resistance. (usask.ca)
While dewormers are necessary for controlling parasites, the horse's immune system is also a vital defence. (usask.ca)
Refugia are parasites that are susceptible to deworming products, are present in an equine herd and are maintained by limiting the use of dewormers. (usask.ca)

Sheep with Ovine Johne's disease often have high parasite burdens and, as a result, faecal egg counts. (fwi.co.uk)
Parasite burdens were low to moderate early in the grazing period, but increased markedly during the mid-July to September period, despite monthly deworming of the flock. (oregonstate.edu)
It appeared that parasite burdens, high summer temperatures and the lack of shade, and possibly low cobalt and selenium levels were responsible for the late summer decline in weight gain. (oregonstate.edu)
Monthly deworming of the flock was moderately effective in reducing parasite burdens and pasture contamination. (oregonstate.edu)
Though egg counts are useful for a qualitative diagnosis of infestation, no good diagnostic techniques are currently available to estimate actual ascarid burdens in foals. (dvm360.com)

The specific objectives of this study were to establish the most commonly encountered intestinal parasites in Ngoma primary school children and to determine intestinal parasite load among the infected children. (alliedacademies.org)
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 3.5 billion people worldwide are infested with some type of intestinal parasite, and as many as 450 million of them are sick as a result. (alliedacademies.org)

You see, a huge problem in parasite management is that the products we use to control parasites-worms, especially-often become ineffective over time largely because of misuse and overuse. (hobbyfarms.com)
Until now it has not been possible to test for encysted small strongyles as faecal egg counts detect the presence of only egg-laying adult worms. (horsetalk.co.nz)
To answer this, Sea Grant biologists are cracking open common marsh snails and counting parasitic worms. (bio-medicine.org)
While the parasite hypothesis may conflict with conventional ideas about infectious disease and human health (malaria, for example, is caused by a parasite), the worms the scientists are investigating are not just any kind of parasite. (bio-medicine.org)
Dry weather followed by sudden rain and an increase in temperatures is the perfect climate for worms, which is why we are seeing some higher counts. (fwi.co.uk)
This is why faecal egg tests are vital for farmers to make informed decisions about treatment for worms," says Dr Armstrong. (fwi.co.uk)
While we can think of many examples of that in human society, in animals, internal parasites include several types of 'worms' - nematodes, roundworms, flukes, tapeworms and flatworms. (nodpa.com)
Parasite worms move around more in a pasture when grass is wet, climbing to the tips of leaves where they are easily ingested. (nodpa.com)

I understand that egg counts don't really tell us how many worms a horse has," she said to Nielsen. (dvm360.com)

Their control has relied on treatment with anthelmintic drugs, which has resulted in parasite resistance to such products. (agrocienciauruguay.uy)
This varies from anthelmintic to anthelmintic being based primarily on the age of parasites that are killed in the horse, ie effective only maturing adults and adults, or effective against stages as young as L3. (vetstream.com)
Before designing an anthelmintic program carry out a fecal egg count reduction test particularly with benzimidazoles, testing before and 7-14 days after treatment. (vetstream.com)
Mebendazole, a highly effective broad-spectrum anthelmintic, was tested for its in vivo effects on the eggs of Trichuris trichiura and hookworm recovered from patients treated with the drug. (ajtmh.org)
In general, every dog less than one year of age should be given an anthelmintic (anti-parasite drug) for ascarids regardless of fecal results. (petplace.com)
Impaction can also be considered an adverse reaction to anthelmintic treatment, since foals accumulate numerous dead parasites that block their intestine and 'clog the system,' especially at the junction of the ileum and cecum," he says. (dvm360.com)

Managing parasites in goats often loses effectiveness over time. (hobbyfarms.com)
Before I decribe the process of sustainably managing parasites in goats, let's define "sustainable" in this context. (hobbyfarms.com)

These inexpensive tests, which can be purchased here or conducted by your veterinarian, reveal the exact type or types of parasites, if any, your horse is carrying. (doversaddlery.com)
There are many types of parasites, each with their own life cycles. (usask.ca)

Intestinal parasites are organisms that live in the gastrointestinal tract of animals, including humans and can cause morbidity and mortality [ 1 ]. (alliedacademies.org)
When the parasite comes into contact with humans, it burrows into the skin and matures into another stage. (medlineplus.gov)
Since we do not yet have methods other than overall good health care for enhancing immunity to parasites, humans can most affect parasite exposure through management practices. (equimed.com)
The source is direct transmission from humans by direct (skin) contact, and through soil and vegetation on which fecal matter containing eggs has been deposited. (bionity.com)
If humans ingest the embryonated eggs, the eggs start to hatch in the human small intestine and utilize the intestinal microflora and nutrients to multiply and grow. (nih.gov)
in humans the term egg is not used. (thefreedictionary.com)

For example, over the past two decades, the Rylington Merino Project has selected sheep for resistance to nematodes on the basis of annual worm egg counts [ 1 , 2 ]. (hindawi.com)

Rotational grazing will help reduce parasite exposure by spreading out manure, giving the manure time to break down and help reduce over grazing. (umn.edu)

The study of host-parasite relationships usually requires reliable estimates of parasite intensity, which is often estimated from parasite propagule concentration in faeces. (cambridge.org)
In domesticated animals, parasitism is also very common, but it can become a serious issue when the delicate host/parasite balance is upset. (nodpa.com)
The genomic data might prove as an invaluable resource for fundamental biological research, comparative genomics and provide new insights in genetic mechanisms involving drug susceptibility, resistance, host parasite relationships, host immunity, possibility to maintain the life of currently available drugs and improved molecular diagnostics. (wikipedia.org)
However, no studies have simultaneously quantified the relationships between within-host parasite replication, virulence, and transmission to examine support for a maximum attainable parasite fitness owing to a trade-off between the costs and benefits of parasite replication. (pnas.org)
This gap in empirical data from naturally occurring host-parasite systems has led some authors to conclude that the trade-off theory may be too narrow a view of the evolution of parasites ( 20 , 26 ). (pnas.org)

After 14 to 21 days, the eggs mature and enter an infective stage. (nih.gov)
The egg of the whipworm is the infective stage, and favorable conditions for its maturation are warm and humid climate. (nih.gov)

More frequent fecal egg count determinations are warranted with these animals to verify the level of parasite load. (horsetalk.co.nz)

Results showed moderate to good agreement between the two methods, with better agreement achieved when saturated sugar is used as a floatation fluid, particularly when faecal egg counts are less than 1000 eggs per gram of faeces. (biomedcentral.com)
We concluded that the precision with which laboratories measure FEC (100 eggs per gram) is more than enough. (agrocienciauruguay.uy)
At Graeme Mathers farm, Fern, Angus, a low faecal egg count was recorded on 11 June, but by 21 June the count had gone up to 315 eggs/gram (epg) and nematodirus measured 420 epg. (fwi.co.uk)
In addition, the mean pre-treatment fecal egg counts should be at least 150 eggs per gram, otherwise the test can give unreliable results. (wikipedia.org)
