Condensed tannins (CTs) account for up to 20% of the dry matter in forage legumes used as ruminant feeds. Beneficial animal responses CTs have included improved growth, milk and wool production, fertility, reduced methane emissions ammonia volatilization from dung or urine. Most important is ability such forages combat effects gastrointestinal parasitic nematodes. Inconsistent were initially attributed concentration diet, but recent research has highlighted importance their molecular...
Ascaris suum is one of the most prevalent nematode parasites in pigs and causes significant economic losses, also serves as a good model for A. lumbricoides, large roundworm humans that ubiquitous developing countries malnutrition, stunted growth compromises immunity to other pathogens. New treatment options infections are urgently needed, reduce reliance on limited number synthetic anthelmintic drugs. In areas where common, ethno-pharmacological practices such with natural plant extracts...
Background Taenia solium cysticercosis/taeniosis is emerging as a serious public health and economic problem in many developing countries. This study was conducted to determine prevalence risk factors of human T. infections Mbeya Region, Tanzania. Methods Findings A cross-sectional survey 13 villages Mbozi district 2009. Sera 830 people (mean 37.9±11.3 years (SD); 43% females) were tested for circulating cysticerci antigen (Ag-ELISA) antibody (Ab-ELISA). subset persons found seropositive by...
ABSTRACT The prevalent porcine helminth, Ascaris suum , compromises pig health and reduces farm productivity worldwide. closely related human parasite, A. lumbricoides infects more than 800 million people representing a disease burden of 1.31 disability‐adjusted life years. infections are often chronic in nature, the parasites have profound ability to modulate their hosts' immune responses. This study provides first in‐depth characterisation extracellular vesicles (EVs) from different...
Trichuris (whipworm) infects 1 billion people worldwide and causes a disease (trichuriasis) that results in major socioeconomic losses both humans pigs. Trichuriasis relates to an inflammation of the large intestine manifested bloody diarrhea, chronic can cause malnourishment stunting children. Paradoxically, pigs has shown substantial promise as treatment for human autoimmune disorders, including inflammatory bowel (IBD) multiple sclerosis. Here we report whole-genome sequencing at...
Polyphenols are a class of bioactive plant secondary metabolites that thought to have beneficial effects on gut health, such as modulation mucosal immune and inflammatory responses regulation parasite burdens. Here, we examined the interactions between polyphenol-rich diet supplement infection with enteric nematode Ascaris suum in pigs. Pigs were fed either basal or same supplemented grape pomace (GP), an industrial by-product rich polyphenols oligomeric proanthocyanidins. Half animals each...
The faecal egg count reduction test (FECRT) is the primary diagnostic tool used for detecting anthelmintic resistance at farm level. It therefore extremely important that experimental design of a FECRT and susceptibility classification result use standardised statistically rigorous methods. Several different approaches improving analysis data have been proposed, but little work has published on how to address issue prospective sample size calculations. Here, we provide complete detailed...
