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

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
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.

Potential of the Predatory Mites Gamasellodes lavafesii (Mesostigmata: Ascidae) and Cosmolaelaps mediocuspis (Mesostigmata: Laelapidae) on Different Soil Pests/Parasites and Alternative Prey for Large‐Scale Rearing

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Many species of Mesostigmata soil mites have potential as biological control agents of pests/parasites. This study evaluated the predation potential of two of these species, Gamasellodes lavafesii (Ascidae) and Cosmolaelaps mediocuspis (Laelapidae).

Haemonchus contortus-Sheep relationship: A review.

Revista Científica, 2007
Haemonchosis, caused by the abomasal nematode Haemonchus contortus, is among the most relevant parasitic diseases of small ruminants all over the world. The infections are responsible for anemic and bad digestion/absorption syndromes causing the death of severely infected animals in acute cases and the reduction of production scores in the chronic ...

Collagen processing and cuticle formation is catalysed by the astacin metalloprotease DPY-31 in free-living and parasitic nematodes [PDF]

, 2010
The exoskeleton or cuticle performs many key roles in the development and survival of all nematodes. This structure is predominantly collagenous in nature and requires numerous enzymes to properly fold, modify, process and cross-link these essential ...

Large‐scale reproductive loss in sheep due to Border disease virus infection, New South Wales, Australia

Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 104, Issue 3, Page 137-149, March 2026.
Border disease viruses (BDV) and bovine viral diarrhoea viruses (BVDV) are members of the Pestivirus genus in the family Flaviviridae. While BVDV is one of the most significant endemic viral infections of cattle in Australia, BDV infection is generally considered to be uncommon in Australian sheep.

The Relationship Between Immunopathology and Body Condition of Mixed‐Age Ewes

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.
Ill thrift in ewes, characterised by less than desirable body condition, is a multifactorial condition often attributed to nutritional deficits, though immunopathological factors may also play a role. This study investigated associations between body condition scores (BCS) and immunopathological states in 120 mixed‐age ewes grazing pasture over 4 ...
