The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the efficiency of partial treatment of animals infested with horn flies. Forty-five Guzerat cows between 4 and 7 years of age were divided into three groups (15 cows per group). The treatments were as follows: in groups G33 and G100, 33.

All fish were parasitised by at least one helminth species (overall prevalence [P] = 100%). Eight parasite taxa were present: the nematode Procamallanus (Procamallanus) peraccuratus in the intestines; third-stage larvae of the anisakids Contracaecum sp.

- Five groups of cattle were treated with various anthelmintics (moxidectin, ivermectin, levamisole phosphate, and albendazole sulphoxide) to assess their effectiveness in reducing fecal parasite eggs.
- Levamisole showed the highest reduction in egg count (97.4%) after 24 hours, while moxidectin and albendazole sulphoxide were effective after 36 hours with reductions of 98.3% and 95.9%, respectively.
- The study found that Cooperia spp. and Haemonchus spp. were resistant to ivermectin, and egg count assessments can indicate parasite resistance within seven days post-treatment.
