Simultaneous analysis of the intestinal parasites and diet through eDNA metabarcoding

Integrative Zoology, Volume 18, Issue 3, Page 399-413, May 2023., 2023
We design a eukaryotic mini‐barcode (MiniB18S_81), which provides high taxonomic resolution of the most relevant diet and parasite phyla, Arthropoda, Nematoda, Platyhelminthes, and Apicomplexa, at the order level. An excellent tool to simultaneously provide detailed information regarding the diet and parasites of birds, essential for conservation and ...

Welfare of laying hens on farm

EFSA Journal, Volume 21, Issue 2, February 2023., 2023
Abstract This scientific opinion focuses on the welfare of laying hens, pullets and layer breeders on farm. The most relevant husbandry systems used in Europe are described. For each system, highly relevant welfare consequences were identified, as well as related animal‐based measures (ABMs), and hazards leading to the welfare consequences.

Implementation of a targeted treatment strategy for the sustainable control of Ascaridia galli infections in laying hens

Veterinary Record Open, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Background Ascaridia galli is a widespread problem in cage‐free egg production. Sustainable control of nematode infections is a key component in this sector. This study investigates the effect of a treatment strategy against A. galli, aiming to propose a guideline for anthelmintic use on commercial poultry farms.

Experimental removal of nematode parasites increases growth, sprint speed, and mating success in brown anole lizards

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 337, Issue 8, Page 852-866, October 1, 2022., 2022
Nematode parasites are costly to juvenile brown anoles, Anolis sagrei, in terms of growth. Nematode parasite removal increased over winter growth in snout‐vent length for juvenile brown anoles. Abstract Parasites interact with nearly all free‐living organisms and can impose substantial fitness costs by reducing host survival, mating success, and ...

Betelvine (Piper betle L.): A comprehensive insight into its ethnopharmacology, phytochemistry, and pharmacological, biomedical and therapeutic attributes

Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 26, Issue 11, Page 3083-3119, June 2022., 2022
Abstract Piper betle L. (synonym: Piper betel Blanco), or betel vine, an economically and medicinally important cash crop, belongs to the family Piperaceae, often known as the green gold. The plant can be found all over the world and is cultivatedprimarily in South East Asian countries for its beautiful glossy heart‐shaped leaves, which are chewed or ...

Anthelmintic Agents from African Medicinal Plants: Review and Prospects

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Soil‐transmitted helminthiasis affects more than 1.5 billion people globally and largely remains a sanitary problem in Africa. These infections place a huge economic burden on poor countries and affect livestock production, causing substantial economic losses and poor animal health. The emergence of anthelmintic resistance, especially in livestock, and

Reduction of Ascaridia galli Pathology by Salmonella typhimurium in Broiler Chicken

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
Previous studies have reported interactions between Salmonella spp. and some helminth coinfections. In this study, S. typhimurium and Ascaridia galli coinfections were analyzed, and the consequences on therapy were proposed. In a first experiment where the effect of the bacteria on the nematode was evaluated, thirty 42‐day‐old broiler chickens were ...

Maternal protection against Ascaridia galli?

Veterinary Parasitology, 2017
Maternally derived antibodies can provide partial protection against certain bacterial and viral infections. We investigated whether chicks descending from nematode-infected hens are more resistant against Ascaridia galli, a prevalent gastrointestinal nematode, than chicks from nematode-free mothers.

Ascaridia galli - An old problem that requires new solutions

International Journal for Parasitology: Drugs and Drug Resistance, 2023
Reports of Ascaridia galli in laying hens in Europe have increased since the ban on conventional battery cages in 2012. As this parasite is transmitted directly via the faecal-oral route by parasite eggs containing a larva, it is reasonable to assume that the escalating problem is related to the increased exposure now occurring in modern welfare ...
