Two strains of Oesophagostomum spp., consisting of both O. quadrispinulatum and O. dentatum, were subjected to a controlled in vivo assay for resistance to levamisole and pyrantel by comparison with susceptible isolates. One strain (LEM) was recently isolated from a commercial herd, where sows showed high numbers of strongyle eggs in faeces within 2 weeks of farrowing and following treatment with levamisole at the manufacturer's recommended dose rate 1 week before farrowing. Levamisole had been used as the sole anthelmintic for treatment for at least 7 years on this farm. Treatment with pyrantel in this herd also indicated cross-resistance to this drug. A mixed population of O. quadrispinulatum and O. dentatum of this strain was subjected to controlled in vivo assays. Faecal egg count reduction (FECR) was found to be -573.3% (P greater than 0.05) and worm count reductions (WCR) of O. quadrispinulatum and O. dentatum were estimated as 44.5% (P greater than 0.05) and 96.4% (P less than 0.001), respectively. Treatment with pyrantel showed that cross-resistance existed to this drug, with FECR of 10.4% (P greater than 0.05) and WCR of 64.5% (P greater than 0.05) and 90.7% (P less than 0.05) for O. quadrispinulatum and O. dentatum, respectively. Another strain (VJ) was isolated from another commercial pig herd, which was dosed with pyrantel citrate four times a year for at least 8 years. This strain showed resistance to pyrantel, with FECR of 43.8% (P greater than 0.05) and WCR of 65.9% (P greater than 0.05) and 49.4% (P greater than 0.05) for O. quadrispinulatum and O. dentatum, respectively. However, both species were susceptible to levamisole. Our results suggested that selection with levamisole gave rise to levamisole resistance and automatically conferred resistance to pyrantel, whereas selection with pyrantel only resulted in resistance to this drug alone. These findings are discussed in relation to the location of the two species of Oesophagostomum in the large intestine of pigs and the mode of action of this class of anthelmintics. 相似文献

This study was undertaken to determine whether anthelmintic-resistant Oesophagostomum spp. populations occur in Danish swine herds. A controlled field trial on selected sow herds suggested resistance to pyrantel citrate in a herd where faecal egg count depression in response to treatment was only 28.3%. This was confirmed by subsequent experimental infection of pigs where the suspected resistant Oesophagostomum isolate was compared with a susceptible worm isolate. After treatment with the recommended dose of the drug, worm burdens of the suspected isolate were only reduced by 42.6% (p greater than 0.05) in contrast to the susceptible isolate, which was reduced by 94.6% (p less than 0.01). Differential counts of the resistant isolate suggested that O. dentatum might be more resistant than O. quadrispinulatum. The resistant isolate originated from a herd, where the anthelmintic had been administered four times a year over a period of 7 years. The potential for development of anthelmintic resistance in Oesophagostomum spp. under management practices in our country is discussed in the light of the current views on predisposing factors. 相似文献

The in vitro activities of thiabendazole, levamisole, pyrantel, morantel and ivermectin against Oesophagostomum spp., the nodular worm of pigs, were determined and compared. The study was carried out using isolates of O. dentatum and O. quadrispinulatum, which had been defined in vivo. Infective larvae were exposed to the anthelmintics for 24 h and then placed in a micromotility meter. All the treatments significantly reduced the motility of the ensheathed L3 larvae, but the micromotility meter was not able to differentiate between anthelmintic resistant and anthelmintic susceptible isolates. 相似文献

Field experiments carried out in the Maritime area of Canada failed to demonstrate overwinter survival of porcine nodular worms, Oesophagostomum quadrispinulatum and O. dentatum. Pastures were contaminated by carrier animals with subsequent transmission of infection to susceptible pigs. One approach to control of oesophagostomiasis in grazing swine is the treatment of all infected pigs prior to going on pasture. 相似文献

A migration assay was used to separate a pyrantel-susceptible and -resistant isolate of the pig nematode, Oesophagostomum dentatum. The experiment had three steps. In the first step, LD(50) values for pyrantel of the two isolates in the assay were established. In the second step, susceptible and resistant worms were mixed in various proportions prior to exposure to a fixed concentration of pyrantel and thereafter assayed. The inhibition of migration showed to be linearly correlated with the proportion of resistant worms in a sample. In step three, this line was used as a standard curve to predict the number of resistant worms in samples from pigs infected with mixed samples of susceptible and resistant larvae. 相似文献

Forty pigs with induced infections of Ascaris suum, Trichuris suis, Metastrongylus spp., Oesophagostomum dentatum and O. quadrispinulatum were assigned to five-dose groups of moxidectin 0.5% pour-on with eight pigs per dose group. The doses were: moxidectin, 0 (vehicle control), 0.75, 1.00, 1.25, and 1.50 mg/kg(-1) body weight. Worm egg counts (EPG) were made from fecal samples collected on Day 2 pretreatment and on Day 14 or 15 post-treatment. Animals were ranked according to the descending order of A. suum egg counts made on Day 2 and blocked in groups of five. Pigs in blocked groups were assigned randomly to each of the five dose groups. Treatment doses were calculated on the basis of weights taken on Day 1 and were administered topically from the neck to the base of the tail. Pigs were housed by pairs in individual pens provided with self-feeders and automatic waterers. Necropsies were performed on equal numbers of pigs from each treatment group on days 14 and 15 post-treatment. Adult and larval worms were collected, identified and counted by standard parasitological techniques. All counts were transformed by Y=log10 (count+1) transformation prior to analysis. A two-way analysis of variance was conducted and treatment effect was tested for significance at the 5% level. Efficacies based on geometric means and optimal doses were as follows: Ascaris suum, 98.3% at 1.25; Metastrongylus spp., 100% at 0.75; Oesophagostomum quadrispinulatum, 100% at 1.50; and Trichuris suis, 93.5% at 0.75. Efficacy for O. dentatum was from 81.3% to 100%; however, the average number of O. dentatum (30) was too small for significance. Two species of lungworms were present, Metastrongylus apri and M. pudendotectus but they were not speciated at necropsy. As reported for several anthelmintics, the efficacy of moxidectin was variable for Trichuris. The highest efficacy was in the 0.75 dose group with six pigs harboring a few or no worms. The lowest efficacy was in the 1.25 group with only two pigs harboring a few or no worms. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine interactions between Oesophagostomum spp and Salmonella ser. Typhimurium in pigs. ANIMALS: 30 healthy 5- to 6-week-old pigs. PROCEDURE: Pigs were allotted to 3 groups (n = 10 pigs/group) and treated as follows: group A was given Oesophagostomum dentatum and O quadrispinulatum; group B was given O dentatum, O quadrispinulatum, and S Typhimurium; and group C was given S Typhimurium only. Pigs in groups A and B were trickle infected with Oesophagostomum spp 3 times weekly throughout the study. After 19 days, groups B and C were inoculated once with S Typhimurium. One pig from each group was euthanatized on the day of Salmonella exposure and 2 and 4 days after Salmonella exposure. The remaining pigs were euthanatized on days 16 and 17 after Salmonella exposure. RESULTS: Pigs with dual infections of nematodes and bacteria (group B) excreted significantly higher amounts of S Typhimurium in feces, compared with nematode-free pigs (group C). In addition, group-B pigs excreted S Typhimurium on more days than pigs in group C. Salmonella Typhimurium was detected in the cecum and colon in the majority of pigs in group B, whereas S Typhimurium was only detected in the colon in pigs in group C. Immunohistochemical examination detected S Typhimurium in 7 of 9 pigs in group B but only 2 of 9 pigs in group C. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Interactions between intestinal nematodes and bacteria may play an important role in the dynamics of S Typhimurium infections. 相似文献

A controlled trial was performed to evaluate the efficacy of piperazine dihydrochloride in a new granular formulation (Ascarex D) against naturally occurring infections with Ascaris suum, Oesophagostomum dentatum and O quadrispinulatum. Treatment effects were estimated on the basis of parasites recoverable from the intestinal contents. Given orally at 200 mg per kg body weight the compound showed an efficacy of 99 to 100 per cent against A suum and the nodular worms. Egg excretion of the respective species was reduced by 98 per cent and 100 per cent six days after treatment. No adverse reactions were observed after the treatment. 相似文献

Two controlled tests were performed to investigate the benzimidazole resistance of a nodular worm isolate "GIBZ" from a pig breeding farm in Germany. In Trial I, groups of five pigs, artificially infected with Oesophagostomum larvae isolated from that farm were treated with flubendazole at a single dose of 5 mg kg(-1) bodyweight (BW) or remained untreated. In Trial II, three groups of three pigs each infected with larvae after a further laboratory passage of this isolate were treated with flubendazole either at a single dose of 5 mg kg(-1) BW or at a divided dose of 1.5 mg kg(-1) BW daily for 5 consecutive days, or with fenbendazole at a single dose of 5 mg kg(-1) BW, the fourth infected group remained untreated. The respective doses of anthelmintics were mixed with a small amount of feed and administered to individual pigs in both trials. Fecal egg counts before and after treatment and post-mortem worm burdens 7 days after (last) treatment were examined to assess the anthelmintic efficacies. Only infections with Oesophagostomum dentatum were found in both trials. In Trial I, the mean worm count reduction by flubendazole was 30% as compared to the untreated controls. In Trial II, flubendazole administered at a single or divided dose reduced the mean worm burden by 0 and 85%, respectively, whereas fenbendazole was 100% effective. These results establish resistance to flubendazole in the isolate "GIBZ" of O. dentatum. The failure to reveal side resistance to fenbendazole may be explained by that the currently recommended dose rate of this compound is supra-optimal for porcine nodular worms. 相似文献

Mebendazole, administered at a dose of 30 mg active substance per 1 kg of feed, was found to have 100% effectiveness on Ascaris suum and Cambendazole, administered at a dose of 1.5 g per 1 kg of liver weight, showed the same effectiveness in the control of Ascaris suum and Oesophagostomum dentatum. The effectiveness of both drugs on Trichocephalus suis and Strongyloides ransomi was low. Mebendazole and Cambendazole can be recommended for mass dehelminthization of pigs in affected stocks. Helminthoovoscopical examination of sows and fattened pigs showed an 88.6% extensity of invasion in sows, and a 28.3% and 33.9% extensity in three- and five-month-old pigs, respectively. Coccidiosis was found in 51.4% of the sows and Balantidium coli had an occurrence rate of 80.7 to 98.2%. 相似文献

Interactions between the predacious fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora and third-stage larvae of a series of animal-parasitic nematodes 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
Interactions between the predacious hyphomycete Arthrobotrys oligospora and third-stage larvae of nine animal-parasitic nematodes were tested in vitro. The trap-inducing capabilities of the ruminant trichostrongylus Cooperia oncophora, C. curticei, Haemonchus contortus and Ostertagia ostertagi and of equine cyathostomes were almost comparable to those of free-living soil nematodes, and significantly higher than those of the porcine Oesophagostomum dentatum and Oe. quadrispinulatum and of the murine Nematospiroides dubius. The trap-forming potential of Dictyocaulus viviparus was poor. All animal-parasitic nematodes were rapidly captured when fungal traps had been pre-induced in high numbers. The possible influence of predacious fungi on animal-parasitic nematode populations under natural conditions in the field is discussed. 相似文献

To determine the safety of a new combination of ivermectin and pyrantel (as pamoate salt) in a novel beef-based chewable tablet formulation, 3 tolerance trials were conducted and included growing dogs, pups, and breeding adult dogs. Growing dogs, given the combination orally for 5 consecutive days at recommended dosages (5 mg of pyrantel/kg of body weight, 6 micrograms of ivermectin/kg) or at twice the pyrantel dosage in combination with the recommended dosage of ivermectin, had no adverse effects. The combination also was administered to 6-week-old pups at 1, 3, and 5 times the recommended dose on 3 successive days for 3 times in 1 month. Compared with age-matched controls, treatment had no effect on clinical status, growth rate, or gross or histologic features. Breeding male and female dogs given the combination at 3 times the recommended dose for extended periods had no adverse effects, and prevalence of abnormalities in the offspring was not greater than that in nonmedicated controls. 相似文献

In 1976 to 1978, the occurrence of helminths in a large reproduction herd of pigs was studied in different age categories of the animals kept. Six helminth species were found in 30.7% of the sows: Ascaris suum (6.6%), Oesophagostomum dentatum (24.0%), Hyostrongylus rubidus (3.3%), Trichocephalus suis (1.3%), Strongyloides ransomi (0.7%), Metastrongylus sp. (0.3%). Four- to seven-month-old auction gilts had only the eggs of A. suum (4% of all cases). No helminith eggs were found in fattened piglets. Breeding boars were invaded by the species O. dentatum, H. rubidus and Metastrongylus sp. In elite herds and in gilts introduced from these herds, a higher extensity of invasion by different helminth species was found during quarantine and the findings even included the eggs of the species Capillaria sp. The anthelmintic effectiveness of Helmirazin (SpOFA) was also tested: in A. suum its effectiveness was 77.1%, in O. dentatum 66.2%, in T. suis the preparation remained ineffective. The technology of large-scale pig breeding under the conditions of reproduction herd of the PM-013-AGP type appears to be suitable from the helminthological points of view. In the planned introduction of animals from other breeding establishments it is necessary to subject the gilts to double treatment with an effective anthelmintic. 相似文献

Five growing pigs experimentally infected with low doses of Oesophagostomum dentatum, Ascaris suum, and Trichuris suis were turned out with 5 helminth-na?ve pigs on each of 3 pastures in June 1996 (Group 1). On one pasture all pigs received nose-rings. After slaughter of Group 1 in October, pasture infectivity was monitored using helminth-na?ve, unringed tracer pigs. In 1997, helminth-na?ve young pigs were turned out on the contaminated pastures in May (Group 2) and again in August (Group 3). Again all pigs on one pasture received nose-rings. All pigs and pastures were followed parasitologically and reduction in grass cover was monitored. Based on the acquisition of infection by the na?ve pigs in Group 1, the estimated minimal embryonation times for eggs deposited on pasture were 23-25 days for O. dentatum, 5-6 weeks for A. suum and 9-10 weeks for T. suis. Results from tracer pigs and grass/soil samples indicated that pasture infectivity was light both years. Free-living stages of O. dentatum did not survive the winter. The nose-rings reduced rooting considerably, resulting in three-fold more grass cover on the nose-ring pasture compared to the control pastures by the end of the experiment. Nevertheless, the nose-rings did not significantly influence parasite transmission. 相似文献

A total of 52 pigs slaughtered at the Pretoria Municipal Abattoir over a period of 1 year was examined for parastitic helminths. Twenty-six of these pigs were marketed by farmers and 26 by speculators. Of the pigs marketed by farmers 73,1% were found to be infested:--30,8% with Ascaris suum, 65,4% with Ascarops strongylina, 3,8% with Metastrongylus apri, 26,9% with Oesophagostomum spp., 15,4% with Trichostrongylus colubriformis and 15,4% with Trichuris suis. All the pigs marketed by speculators were infested:--7,7% with A. suum, 92,3% with A. strongylina, 11,5% with Oesophagostomum spp., 65,4% with Physocephalus sexalatus, 7,7% with T. colubriformis and 11,5% with T. suis. The findings obtained in surveys conducted in Canada, Greece, India, the Philippines, the United Kingdom and the United States of America are quoted for comparison. Trichostrongylus colubriformis and Oesophagostomum quadrispinulatum are recorded for the first time in pigs in the Republic of South Africa. 相似文献

The direct influence of intracaecal infusion of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) and lactic acids (LA) on already established Oesophagostomum dentatum infection in cannulated pigs was investigated. We tested the hypothesis that the previously discovered anti-parasitic effect of inulin is mediated through its metabolic products SCFA and LA by infusing into cannulated pigs these compounds in amounts approximating to those produced in the pigs large intestine and caecum during the metabolism of inulin. The experiment comprised of 18 pigs--2 groups of 9 pigs in each. The normal diet used in the experiment was based on barley flour with insoluble fibre from oat husk with added soybean meal, vitamins and minerals. After 2 weeks of adaptation to the diet all the pigs were inoculated with 6,000 infective larvae of O. dentatum. Six weeks later, surgery on all pigs was performed to install cannulas into caeci. At 7 weeks post-infection (p.i.) the SCFA and LA infusion was initiated in Group 1 (experimental) pigs; at the same time pigs in Group 2 (controls) were infused with saline. At week 10 p.i., all pigs were killed and their worm burdens determined. SCFA and LA infused pigs exhibited markedly reduced fecal egg counts and worm recoveries (98 and 92% reduction, respectively, compared to saline controls). The results from this study demonstrate that SCFA and LA have a significant negative influence on established O. dentatum infection in growing pigs. The results also show that the type of dietary carbohydrates fed and its intestinal degradation can yield metabolic by products that profoundly influence helminth survival. 相似文献

Efficacy of doramectin against naturally acquired nematode infection in Iberian swine 总被引：7，自引：0，他引：7
Studies were carried out to determine the therapeutic efficacy of doramectin, administered intramuscularly at a dose of 300 microg/kg live weight, against naturally acquired helminths of extensively farmed Iberian pigs. The first study (slaughter study) evaluated, through necropsy of the study animals, the product's efficacy against gastrointestinal and pulmonary nematodes (Ascaris suum, Oesophagostomum dentatum and Metastrongylus sp.) whilst the second, faecal egg count reduction study, (FECR study) evaluated the drug's efficacy only against gastrointestinal helminths (A. suum, Trichuris suis and Oesophagostomum sp.).The first study used 20 animals divided into two equal groups of 10 on the basis of body weight and faecal egg count. One group constituted saline treated controls and the other was doramectin treated. On Day 14 post treatment half of the animals in each group were necropsied and the number of parasites present counted. On Day 15 the remaining half of each group underwent the same procedure. The second study was carried out with 40 animals divided equally into two groups of 20. This study determined the effect of doramectin treatment on faecal egg counts as an indicator of parasite burden.The first study demonstrated an efficacy of 100% against adult Metastrongylus sp. and A. suum, whilst the efficacy against O.dentatum was 96.3%. The second study indicated that at Day 21 post treatment there was a 100% reduction in egg counts in faeces in comparison to untreated controls. 相似文献
