The major helminth infections in ruminants include gastrointestinal (GI) nematodes, liver
fluke, and lungworms. At present, they are mainly controlled by regular treatments with …

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

The development of effective recombinant vaccines against parasitic nematodes has been
challenging and so far mostly unsuccessful. This has also been the case for Ostertagia …

The need for alternative ways to control helminth parasites has in recent years led to a boost
in vaccination experiments with recombinant antigens. Despite the use of different …

Antiparasitic drugs have been used successfully to control parasitic diseases in animals for
many years, as they are safe, cheap and effective against a broad spectrum of parasites …

Background Fasciola hepatica, along with Fasciola gigantica, is the causative agent of
fasciolosis, a foodborne zoonotic disease affecting grazing animals and humans worldwide …

As an alternative to antihelminthic drugs, we are exploiting vaccination to control infections
with the abomasal nematode Ostertagia ostertagi in cattle. Our focus for vaccine targets is …

The objective of this study was to evaluate abomasal cytokine responses in helminth‐naive
calves and calves vaccinated with protective antigen fractions from Ostertagia ostertagi after …

Vaccination is being considered as the most feasible alternative for anthelmintic drugs to
control gastrointestinal nematode infections in cattle. However, despite the identification of …

SUMMARY A cDNA encoding a surface‐associated antigen was amplified by reverse
transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from RNA extracted from Teladorsagia …
