FAMACHA©: A potential tool for targeted selective treatment of chronic fasciolosis in sheep

, 2015
The liver fluke Fasciola hepatica causes considerable damage to the health, welfare and productivity of ruminants in temperate areas, and its control is challenged by anthelmintic resistance.

Identification of genomic regions and candidate genes of functional importance for gastrointestinal parasite resistance traits in Djallonké sheep of Burkina Faso [PDF]

Archives Animal Breeding, 2019
A total of 184 Djallonké lambs from Burkina Faso with phenotypes for packed-cell volume (PCV), log-transformed fecal egg count (lnFEC), and FAffa MAlan CHArt (FAMACHA©) eye scores were typed with the OvineSNP50 BeadChip of Illumina to contribute to the ...

FEC Check: Development of a decision support tool to aid interpretation of gastrointestinal nematode faecal egg counts in sheep

Veterinary Record, Volume 198, Issue 9, Page e373-e384, 2/9 May 2026.
Abstract Background Gastrointestinal nematode infections are ubiquitous in grazing livestock worldwide impacting animal health and production. Faecal egg count (FEC) is an accessible diagnostic test that can guide the need for treatment. However, interpretation of FECs can be challenging.

The genetic basis for the selection of dairy goats with enhanced resistance to gastrointestinal nematodes

Parasite, 2017
Gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) severely affect small ruminant production worldwide. Increasing problems of anthelmintic resistance have given strong impetus to the search for alternative strategies to control GIN.

Tropical Pastures and Lamb Health: The Role of Litter and Forage Cultivars in the Dynamics of Gastrointestinal Nematodes Under Continuous Stocking in the Cerrado

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
In tropical grazing systems, the interaction between forage structure and microenvironment plays a key role in the epidemiology of gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) affecting small ruminants. This study evaluated the effect of tropical forage cultivars on GIN infection and related health indicators in lambs during the dry season in the Brazilian Cerrado.

Mycoplasma haemolamae and intestinal parasite relationships with erythrocyte variables in clinically healthy alpacas and llamas

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 33, Issue 5, Page 2336-2342, September/October 2019., 2019
Abstract Background Mycoplasma haemolamae (Mhl) and gastrointestinal nematodes can cause anemia in camelids. Control programs aim to suppress parasitism without promoting anthelminthic resistance, but few evidence‐based guidelines define acceptable parasite loads in camelids.
