Gastrointestinal helminth parasites are a concern for the poultry industry worldwide as they
can affect the health, welfare, and production performance. A systematic review of the …

Abstract Background Fasciolosis (Fasciola hepatica) and paramphistomosis (Calicophoron
daubneyi) are two important infections of livestock. Calicophoron daubneyi is the …

Faecal egg counting techniques (ECTs) are useful tools for assessing anthelmintic efficacy
and selecting hosts resistant to parasite infection. McMaster (MM) is one of the most …

Helminth infections have been re-emerging with the growing popularity of free-range and
floor-based chicken production systems. The aim of this study was to determine the …

Background Classical faecal egg counts (FEC) provide less reliable diagnostic information
for nematode infections in chickens. We developed an ELISA based on Ascaridia galli …

Background Faecal egg count (FEC) techniques are commonly used to detect
gastrointestinal nematodes (GINs) in cattle and to determine anthelmintic efficacy/resistance …

Excreta egg counting techniques are used for indirectly estimating the magnitude of
gastrointestinal nematode infection in live animals. The aim of this study was to optimise …

Experimental infection models for Ascaridia galli rely on the use of eggs isolated either
directly from worm uteri or from host faeces. We investigated whether A. galli eggs isolated …

We investigated whether nematode egg excretion through feces of naturally or
experimentally infected chickens follow certain patterns within a day, which may allow …

The prevalence of gastrointestinal helminths was investigated in sixty-six commercial non-
caged layer flocks. Twenty-nine flocks were housed indoors in aviaries or floor systems …
