Parasitic Fauna of Free‐Living Chelonoidis denticulatus From the Rio Acre Ecological Station and the Municipality of Cruzeiro do Sul, Western Amazon, Brazil [PDF]

Vet Med Int
Tortoises, such as Chelonoidis denticulatus, are described as hosts of many parasites, such as helminths and ticks of the genus Amblyomma, which are important vectors of rickettsial infection in Brazil. Additionally, the high consumption of meat from these animals in Acre results in a high risk of zoonotic outbreaks due to contact with the hosts and ...

An investigation into the epidemiology of Strongylidae infections in the horse in the Netherlands [PDF]

Veterinary Quarterly, 1981
Summary In a four‐year survey, the course of pasture infestation with infective larvae of Strongylidae and the pattern of development of the Strongylidae infection in the host were investigated. In this way it was hoped to obtain epidemiological data which might serve as a basis for the control of strongylidosis in the horse.

Transcriptome analyses reveal protein and domain families that delineate stage-related development in the economically important parasitic nematodes, Ostertagia ostertagi and Cooperia oncophora [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: Cooperia oncophora and Ostertagia ostertagi are among the most important gastrointestinal nematodes of cattle worldwide. The economic losses caused by these parasites are on the order of hundreds of millions of dollars per year.

Antibacterial, Antifungal, Antiviral, and Anthelmintic Activities of Medicinal Plants of Nepal Selected Based on Ethnobotanical Evidence

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
Background. Infections by microbes (viruses, bacteria, and fungi) and parasites can cause serious diseases in both humans and animals. Heavy use of antimicrobials has created selective pressure and caused resistance to currently available antibiotics, hence the need for finding new and better antibiotics.

Endoparasite diversity of the main wild ungulates in Portugal

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2020, Issue 1, Page 1-7, 2020., 2020
Wild ungulates have expanded their geographical range across Europe and Portugal is no exception. Despite the known benefits associated with the increase of these populations (e.g. increased prey for wild carnivores), the negative impacts also need to be taken into account (e.g.
