Helminth parasitology is an important discipline, which poses often unique technical
challenges. One challenge is that helminth parasites, particularly those in humans, are often …

This review is aimed to (i) appraise the literature on the use of molecular techniques for the
detection, quantification and differentiation of gastrointestinal helminths (GIH) of equids,(ii) …

Horses are ubiquitously infected by a diversity of gastro-intestinal parasitic helminths. Of
particular importance are nematodes of the family Strongylidae, which can significantly …

This study quantified the extent of anthelmintic resistance (AR) in ascarid and strongylid
nematodes against commonly used anthelmintics in Australian Thoroughbred horses …

Background A novel way to study the species composition and diversity of nematode
parasites in livestock is to perform deep sequencing on composite samples containing a …

Abstract (300 words) A lack of quantitative information on the species composition of
parasite communities present in fecal samples is a major limiting factor for the sensitivity …

Background Gastrointestinal parasitic nematodes can impact fecundity, development,
behaviour, and survival in wild vertebrate populations. Conventional monitoring of …

This study reports the spatial and temporal distribution of ascarid and strongylid nematodes
in Thoroughbred horses by age category across different climatic zones in Australia over an …

Intestinal protozoan infection is a persisting public health problem affecting the populations
of developing countries in the tropical and subtropical regions. The diagnosis of intestinal …

Consisting of approximately 50 different species, the cyathostomin parasites are ubiquitous
in grazing horses. Co-infection with several species is common, and large burdens can …
