DNA barcoding of rumen flukes (Paramphistomidae) from bovines in Germany and Austria [PDF]
Parasitology Research, 2021 AbstractRumen flukes have received growing veterinary attention in western and central Europe during the past two decades because of an increase in prevalence of infection in cattle and sheep, including cases of severe clinical disease. Historically, rumen fluke infections in Europe were assumed to be caused mainly by Paramphistomum cervi (or species ...

Helminth co-infections have no additive detrimental impact on milk yield and milk quality compared to mono-infections in German dairy cows [PDF]
Parasites & VectorsBackground Infections with (tricho-)strongyles, Dictyocaulus viviparus or Fasciola hepatica have been shown to reduce milk production in dairy cows. However, the current published studies focused on one single helminth infection by neglecting helminth co-
