Gastrointestinal nematode species burdens and host mortality in a feral sheep population [PDF]

, 2006
Every few years a large proportion of the feral sheep on Hirta, St Kilda die due to food shortage. The effects of malnutrition are exacerbated by gastrointestinal nematodes. As found in sheep flocks in mainland Britain, Teladorsagia circumcincta has long

Rapid testing leads to the underestimation of the scrapie prevalence in an affected sheep and goat flock [PDF]

, 2007
To obtain a more detailed understanding of the prevalence of classical scrapie infections in a heavily affected German sheep flock (composed of 603 sheep and 6 goats), we analysed 169 sheep and 6 goats that carried the genotypes susceptible to the ...
