Inhibited development in Haemonchus contortus

Parasitology, 1975
Inhibited development of Haemonchus contortus was studied in single experimental infections of worm-free lambs. Chilling of the infective larvae at + 4°C was without effect on the percentage of larvae subsequently becoming inhibited and a period of exposure to autumnal conditions was unnecessary to induce a high rate of inhibition.

The seasonality of gastrointestinal nematode species abundance (excluding Nematodirus) in sheep of different classes across New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 68, Issue 7, Page 2436-2455, December 2025.
ABSTRACT A survey on nine farms across New Zealand assessed the seasonality and species composition of gastrointestinal nematodes in three sheep classes: lambs (<1 year), 2‐tooth ewes (1–2 years), and mixed age ewes (>2 years). Monthly faecal samples from each class underwent faecal egg counting and deep amplicon sequencing of cultured third‐stage ...
