TLDR
There is an urgent need to design sustainable parasite control strategy which must include on the host as well as off the host control measures to harvest the maximum productivity from the animal for an indefinite period.Abstract:
It is a challenging task to control internal parasites in grazing livestock even by applying multi label and multi directional approach. It is impossible to draw general recommendations to control parasitic diseases due to varied geo-climatic conditions and methods adopted for rearing the livestock in the country like India. In view of increasing incidence of anti-parasitic drug resistance in animals, there is an urgent need to design sustainable parasite control strategy which must include on the host as well as off the host control measures to harvest the maximum productivity from the animal for an indefinite period.read more

A critical role for thermosensation in host seeking by skin-penetrating nematodes.

TL;DR: It is shown that temperature-driven responses can be dominant in multisensory contexts such that, when thermal drive is strong, iL3s preferentially engage inTemperature-driven behaviors despite the presence of an attractive host odorant, which may enable them to optimize host finding on a diurnal temperature cycle.

Astra S. Bryant,Elissa A. Hallem +1 more
TL;DR: The development of methods for transgenesis and CRISPR/Cas9-mediated targeted mutagenesis in Strongyloides stercoralis and the closely related rat parasite StrongylOides ratti are enabling more detailed investigations into the neural mechanisms that underlie the sensory-driven behaviors of this medically and economically important class of parasites.

Gastrointestinal Parasites of Cattle in Central Java
TL;DR: The high level of parasitism in cattle of Central Java is proved and the need to find adequate control measures against parasitic diseases in order to reduce the detrimental impact of parasitosis in cattle is highlighted.

A combined effort to avoid strongyle infection in horses in an oceanic climate region: rotational grazing and parasiticidal fungi
J.A. Hernández,Rita Sánchez-Andrade,C. Cazapal-Monteiro,Fabián Leonardo Arroyo,J. Sanchís,Adolfo Paz-Silva,María Sol Arias +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that horse strongyle infection could be decreased by combining rotational pasturing with feeding pellets containing the spores of parasiticidal fungi.

Vitamin A, infection, and immune function.
TL;DR: Vitamin A deficiency diminishes antibody-mediated responses directed by Th2 cells, although some aspects of Th1-mediated immunity are also diminished, presumably account for the increased mortality seen in vitamin A-deficient infants, young children, and pregnant women in many areas of the world today.

Nutrition-parasite interaction
R.L. Coop,Ilias Kyriazakis +1 more
TL;DR: The framework is useful at highlighting areas of future research on host/parasite/nutrition interactions and can account for the observations of the periparturient relaxation of immunity in reproduced females, as well as the reduction in worm burden in small ruminants supplemented with additional protein.

TL;DR: Vitamin A supplementation to preschool children is known to decrease the risks of mortality and morbidity from some forms of diarrhea, measles, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, and malaria.

TL;DR: Information is presented to illustrate the concepts that the zinc concentration must be taken into account whenever in vitro studies are made or complex alterations of immune functions are observed in vivo.
