Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluated the thiol-disulphide balance in the serum of lambs infected with gastrointestinal nematodes, categorizing them based on parasite load indicated by faecal worm egg counts (EPG).
  • Lambs were split into three groups based on their infection levels and packed cell volume; those with higher infection showed lower levels of total and native thiols compared to less infected lambs.
  • Post-treatment, all groups experienced an increase in thiol levels and a decrease in disulphide ratios, indicating that thiol-disulphide balance can serve as a potential biomarker for monitoring infections in lambs.

The objectives of the present study were to evaluate the efficacy of three anthelmintic drugs, i.e. fenbendazole, ivermectin and moxidectin; to determine the genera and species of the most abundant strongyles; and to investigate parasite control measures used in herds of horses in the western region of the state of São Paulo, Brazil.

The aim of this study was to determine the time required by different anthelmintic agents to reduce strongyle egg shedding in horses. Fifty horses were divided into five homogenous groups based on faecal egg counts (FECs). Treatment groups received either ivermectin; moxidectin; fenbendazole; piperazine; or no treatment (control group).
