Haemonchus contortus (Barber's pole worm or “BPW”) is the nematode “nemesis” of small
ruminant production systems in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Its reputation …

Sheep are capable of developing protective immunity to Haemonchus contortus through
repeated exposure to this parasite, although this immune protection is the result of a …

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

Trichostrongylids causing severe health hazards leading to production losses in small …

Haemonchus contortus is one of the most important parasitic nematodes of small ruminants
around the world, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. The control of …

Diagnosis of gastrointestinal nematodes in livestock and companion animals has been
neglected for years and there has been an historical underinvestment in the development …

Little is known about the diversity of many parasites infecting camels, with most relying on
morphological parameters. DNA extracted from different tissues (n= 90) and fecal samples …

Our current understanding of differences in the epidemiology of gastrointestinal nematode
