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 ...

Gastrointestinal nematodes of Ovis aries in Eastern Cape, South Africa and an evaluation of current anthelmintic procedures [PDF]

, 2015
Humans have known about helminth infections since ancient times. Today half of the human population is plagued by a nematode infection. Nematodes are responsible for billions of dollars in global crop damage annually and have had devastating effects on ...

Acute Toxicity and Genotoxicity of cMoL, a Lectin From Moringa oleifera Seeds With Antifungal Activity Against Cryptococcus Strains

Journal of Applied Toxicology, Volume 46, Issue 2, Page 682-696, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Coagulant Moringa oleifera lectin (cMoL) is one of the compounds involved in the application of M. oleifera seeds for traditional water treatment methods. The present study highlights the new biotechnological potential of cMoL lectin as an antifungal agent against Cryptococcus neoformans B3501 and H99 and Cryptococcus gattii R265 strains ...

Efficacy of Supplementing Lemongrass Powder on Growth, Metabolism, Immune and Endo‐Parasitic Status of Lambs in the Tropics

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2026.
Dietary supplementation of lemongrass powder (0.50 g per kg metabolic body weight) with a basal diet significantly enhanced lamb daily gain, growth velocity, feed efficiency and nutrient digestibility. It increased serum high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL‐C), albumin and IgG concentrations, while reducing aspartate aminotransferase (AST ...

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.

A contemporary map of Fasciola hepatica distribution in sheep and cattle in New South Wales

Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 104, Issue 1-2, Page 25-36, January-February 2026.
Fasciola hepatica is a global threat to livestock production, human health, and food security. Infection causes significant reductions in milk production and quality, feed conversion efficiency, wool quality, and reproductive performance. In New South Wales (NSW), Australia, data on the distribution of F. hepatica are more than 50 years out of date and

Anthelmintic Effect of Chitosan‐Encapsulated Bromelain on Gastrointestinal Nematodes in Naturally Infected Goats in Kenya

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The emergence of anthelmintic resistance calls for the development of alternatives, including medicinal plant extracts. The present study was aimed at assessing the efficacy of chitosan‐encapsulated bromelain (EB) as an oral solution drug against GIN in goats.
