A strong Th2-type immune response against Haemonchus contortus infection in genetically resistant sheep provide immunity. The objective of present study was to correlate mean faecal egg counts (FECs), absolute eosinophil counts and Th1/Th2 gene expression in resistant (R) and susceptible (S) Malpura sheep. In spite of no anthelmintic treatment in R line, on majority of the months, mean FECs remained significantly (P < 0.

- The study assessed the effectiveness of various extracts from plant leaves against eggs and larvae of parasites, finding that dried plant materials significantly inhibited larval development when mixed with sheep feces.
- The research employed chemical analyses, including GC-MS, to identify potent compounds like saponins and flavonoids in the extracts.
- Results showed that all five types of extracts displayed strong larvicidal activity, with the methanol extract that facilitated silver nanoparticles being particularly effective at lower concentrations.
Exploration of machine learning models to predict the environmental and remote sensing risk factors of haemonchosis in sheep flocks of Rajasthan, India.

Globally haemonchosis in sheep is a known devastating disease imposing considerable economic loss. Understanding the environmental risk factors and their role is essentially required to manage the disease successfully. In this study, 14 years' disease data was analysed to predict the risk factors responsible for the occurrence of the disease.
