Helminth infections have large negative impacts on production efficiency in ruminant farming
systems worldwide, and their effective management is essential if livestock production is to …

Background Cyathostomins infect virtually all horses, and concomitant infections with 10 or
more species per horse is standard. Species-specific knowledge is limited, despite potential …

While MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry (MS) is widely considered as the reference method for
the rapid and inexpensive identification of microorganisms in routine laboratories, less …

Abstract Background Equine gastrointestinal nematodes (GINs) have been the subject of
intermittent studies in Australia over the past few decades. However, comprehensive …

Background Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass
spectrometry (MS) has become a widely used technique for the rapid and accurate …

Control of equine nematodes has relied on benzimidazoles (BZs), tetrahydropyrimidines
and macrocyclic lactones. The intensive use of anthelmintics has led to the development of …

Gastrointestinal nematodes are ubiquitous parasites of grazing equines with Parascaris
spp., and strongyles being the most relevant ones regarding the prevalence and potential …

A relatively new method to study the species richness and diversity of nematode parasites in
grazing animals is to perform deep sequencing on composite samples containing a mixture …

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) …

The gastrointestinal microbiota (GIM) plays an essential role in maintaining intestinal
homeostasis with disruptions having profound effects on the wellbeing of the host animal …
