Moxidectin, a newly developed endectocide, has previously been demonstrated to have a high efficacy against gastrointestinal nematodes in cattle (Ranjan et al. 1992, Scholl et al. 1992). In a field trial (Yang, Satrija and Nansen, unpublished data) matched groups of 8 first-season Black Pied Friesian heifer calves, 6-8 months of age, were turned out in early May 1992 on a permanent pasture contaminated with trichostrongyles. The groups were grazed separately on comparable plots until they were housed in mid October 1992. Group Β was treated with moxidectin at turnout, and group C was treated at turnout and again 8 weeks after turnout. A third group served as non-treated controls (group A). The results showed that the 2 early season prophylactic treatments (group C) reduced the late season herbage trichostrongyle larval infectivity with 80 to 90%, whereas the reduction accomplished by only 1 treatment at turnout (group B) was much less. Group C excreted significantly lower numbers of strongyle eggs than groups A and B. The non-treated controls showed clinical signs of trichostrongylosis in late September, which coincided with a steep rise in serum pepsinogen levels reaching an average peak level of 3.5 IU tyrosine litre-1. A few animals in group Β showed softening of faeces particularly in the very late season. In contrast, animals receiving 2 moxidectin treatments remained in a clinically good condition throughout the season. 相似文献

BackgroundReliable and field-applicable diagnosis of schistosome infections in non-human animals is important for surveillance, control, and verification of interruption of human schistosomiasis transmission. This study aimed to summarize uses of available diagnostic techniques through a systematic review and meta-analysis.Methodology and principal findingsWe systematically searched the literature and reports comparing two or more diagnostic tests in non-human animals for schistosome infection. Out of 4,909 articles and reports screened, 19 met our inclusion criteria, four of which were considered in the meta-analysis. A total of 14 techniques (parasitologic, immunologic, and molecular) and nine types of non-human animals were involved in the studies. Notably, four studies compared parasitologic tests (miracidium hatching test (MHT), Kato-Katz (KK), the Danish Bilharziasis Laboratory technique (DBL), and formalin-ethyl acetate sedimentation-digestion (FEA-SD)) with quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), and sensitivity estimates (using qPCR as the reference) were extracted and included in the meta-analyses, showing significant heterogeneity across studies and animal hosts. The pooled estimate of sensitivity was 0.21 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.03–0.48) with FEA-SD showing highest sensitivity (0.89, 95% CI: 0.65–1.00).Conclusions/significanceOur findings suggest that the parasitologic technique FEA-SD and the molecular technique qPCR are the most promising techniques for schistosome diagnosis in non-human animal hosts. Future studies are needed for validation and standardization of the techniques for real-world field applications. 相似文献
