Species diversity and acquisition of gastrointestinal parasites in calves aged 0-13 months in periurban livestock production in Mali (Publications)
of birth on parasite numbers and diversity. Parasite number and burden increased with age. In the age class 4-13 months animals carried already up to eight different gastrointestinal parasite species. Parasite [...] Parasite spectrum found included I I nematodes, 3 cestodes and I protozoan parasite. The most frequent parasite species found were Haemonchus placei (age class 0-1 month: 7%, 1-4 months: 38%, 4-13 months: [...] inspections on 51 calves were conducted to investigate acquisition and...

The analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in drug resistance associated parasite genes is a potential alternative to classical time- and resource-consuming in vivo studies to monitor [...] CQ+SP to treat P. falciparum infections. DNA microarray analyses indicated a low diversity in the parasite population with one major haplotype present in 98.7% of the cases. It was composed of fixed mutations
