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.

The FAMACHA system for managing haemonchosis in sheep and goats by clinically identifying individual animals for treatment [PDF]

Veterinary Research, 2002
Escalating anthelmintic resistance has made it essential to develop alternative ways of worm management for reducing selection for worm resistance, and one of the most promising approaches is to treat only those animals unable to cope with worm challenge, thus favouring unselected worms originating from untreated animals.

Prevalence of Haemonchus contortus Infections in Sheep and Goats in Nyagatare District, Rwanda

Journal of Veterinary Medicine, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
This study investigated the overall prevalence of Haemonchus contortus infection in sheep and goats from five purposively selected subdivisions (sectors) of Nyagatare district from January to December 2014, after a high prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites and generalized poor productivity was reported in small ruminants in some districts of Rwanda.

First Report of Fascioliasis of Ruminants in the Kharaa River Basin and Identification of Snail Hosts in Mongolia

Veterinary Medicine International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Fascioliasis is a parasitic liver disease of mammals induced by liver flukes, Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica. Fasciola spp. rely on their definitive hosts, ruminants, and intermediate hosts, snails, to survive and can incidentally infect humans as definitive hosts. Ruminant (goat, sheep, and cattle) liver and fecal samples were collected from
