In the UK, recent mean temperatures have consistently increased by between 1°C and 4°C compared to 30-year monthly averages. Furthermore, all available predictive models for UK indicate that climate is likely change further feature more extreme weather events a trend towards wetter, milder winters hotter, drier summers. These changes will alter prevalence of endemic diseases spatially and/or temporally impact on animal health welfare. Most notable among these parasites are helminths, which...
Anthelmintic resistance is a major problem for the control of parasitic nematodes livestock and growing concern human parasite control. However, there little understanding how arises spreads or "genetic signature" selection this group important pathogens. We have investigated these questions in system which anthelmintic most advanced; benzimidazole sheep parasites Haemonchus contortus Teladorsagia circumcincta. Population genetic analysis with neutral microsatellite markers reveals that T....
SUMMARY Benzimidazoles (BZ) are widely used to treat parasitic nematode infections of humans and animals, but resistance is widespread in veterinary parasites. Several polymorphisms β-tubulin genes have been associated with BZ-resistance. In the present study, we investigated isotype 1 sequences 18 Haemonchus contortus isolates varying levels thiabendazole. The only polymorphism whose frequency was significantly increased resistant TTC TAC at codon 200. Real-time PCR (using DNA from 100...
Infections with parasitic helminths (nematodes and trematodes) represent a significant economic welfare burden to the global ruminant livestock industry. The increasing prevalence of anthelmintic resistance means that current control programmes are costly unsustainable in long term. Recent changes epidemiology, seasonality geographic distribution helminth infections have been attributed climate change. However, other environment (e.g., land use) farming, such as intensification altered...
Resistance to benzimidazoles (BZs) in trichostrongyloid nematodes is a worldwide problem for livestock production, particularly regarding small ruminants. Sensitive and reliable methods are required assess anthelmintic resistance status. Currently available BZ detection can be divided into three main groups, vivo (e.g. faecal egg count reduction test), vitro hatch assay) molecular tests. Three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) the isotype-1 β-tubulin gene of various nematode species...
