Parasites and infectious diseases are everywhere and represent some of the most potent
forces shaping the natural world. They affect almost every aspect imaginable in the life of …

Simple Summary The paper reviews the challenges regarding haemonchosis, a common
parasitic infection of sheep and goats, caused by Haemonchus parasites. The disease …

Interactions between host nutrition and feeding behaviour are central to understanding the
pathophysiological consequences of infections of the digestive tract with parasitic …

The interest in novel methods of controlling helminth infections in ruminants is driven
primarily by the development of parasite resistance to currently available anthelmintics …

A potential control strategy for nematode infection in sheep is the implementation of a
breeding programme to select for genes associated with resistance. The Texel breed is …

A dynamic and innovative approach to managing the blood-consuming nematode
Haemonchus contortus in goats is critical to crack dependence on veterinary anthelmintics …

Whilst it has long been known that improved protein nutrition can increase resilience, ie
reduce the consequences of sub-clinical gastrointestinal nematode parasitism on sheep …

It is increasingly being recognized that non-chemical parasite control strategies may need to
be combined to control more effectively gastrointestinal parasitism, result in resilient …
