Parasites, by definition, have a negative effect on their host. However, in wild mammal
health and conservation research, sub‐lethal infections are commonly assumed to have …

Abstract Background The parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus shows highly variable
life history traits. This highlights the need to have an average estimate and a quantification of …

The interactions between gastric microbiota, ovine host, and Haemonchus contortus portray
the ovine gastric environment as a complex ecosystem, where all factors play a pertinent …

The automated quantification of the behaviour of freely moving animals is increasingly
needed in applied ethology. State-of-the-art approaches often require tags to identify …

The objective of this study was to measure the effects of melatonin implants in meat ewes at
late pregnancy, at lambing, or both, on colostrum and milk composition, growth of their …

Los parásitos gastrointestinales constituyen una de las principales causas de disminución
de productividad en rumiantes. La principal especie parasitaria que afecta a los ovinos …

Automated quantification of the behaviour of freely moving animals is increasingly needed in
ethology, ecology, genetics and evolution. State-of-the-art approaches often require tags to …

Sub-lethal infections by helminth parasites are generally considered unimportant for wildlife
fitness. However, data on the sub-lethal effects of parasites, combined with the effects of …

This study investigated the impacts of decades of divergent selection for either resistance or
resilience to gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) parasite infection in Romney sheep lines and …
