Background: Gastrointestinal parasites such as nematodes and coccidia are responsible for significant economic losses in the goat industry globally. An indiscriminate use of antiparasitic drugs, primarily registered for use in sheep and cattle, in goats has resulted in drug-resistant gastrointestinal parasites. Very little is known about the gastrointestinal parasite control practices used by Australian dairy goat farmers that are pivotal for achieving sustainable control of economically important parasites.

Objective: Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a zoonotic condition that can be encountered, particularly in developing countries, and leads to significant economic losses. This study was planned to observe the treatment options, complications, in the patients we followed.
Methods: Patients aged 18 and over who were diagnosed with hydatid cyst and followed in our hospital between January 2018 and December 2023 were included in the study.

Equine Infectious Disease Surveillance (EIDS), Department of Veterinary Medicine, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK.
Background: Anthelmintic resistance (AR) threatens effective equine parasite control. Quarterly data summaries from faecal worm egg count testing (FWECT) performed by UK laboratories have appeared in Equine Quarterly Disease Surveillance Reports (EQDSR) since 2007, but have not previously been assessed.
Objectives: To assess strongyle FWECT methods and thresholds used by UK laboratories.

Genome assemblers are a critical component of genome science, but the choice of assembly software and protocols can be daunting. Here, we investigate genome assembly variation and its implications for gene discovery across three nematode species-Caenorhabditis bovis, Haemonchus contortus, and Heligmosomoides bakeri-highlighting the critical interplay between assembly choice and downstream genomic analysis. Selecting commonly used genome assemblers, we generated multiple assemblies for each species, analyzing their structure, completeness, and effect on gene family analysis.
