“…The results of the present study show that male ruminants had significantly higher prevalence of GI helminths than their female counterparts. This is in contrast to many previous studies concluding no sex-related differences in the prevalence of GI helminths in ruminants, and especially in cattle [37][38][39]. However, some studies have shown significant differences in GI helminth infections between male and female goats or sheep [40,41], with higher infection rates in females, presumably because pregnancy lowered their immunity.…”

The journal implements double-blind peer review practiced by specially invited international editorial board members. Objective: To evaluate the situation regarding gastrointestinal helminth parasites in ruminants (cattle, sheep and goats) slaughtered in the abattoir of Shendi, River Nile State, Sudan. Methods: From September 2015 to October 2016, a total of 687 fecal samples were collected and analyzed by flotation and sedimentation techniques. Results: A total of 411 ruminants examined were positive with one or more helminths, giving 59.8% overall prevalence with intensity of 548.23 eggs per gram feces. A total of 12 gastrointestinal helminth parasite genera were identified, including 2 trematodes (Fasciola spp. and Paramphistomum spp.); 7 nematodes (Haemonchus spp., Strongyloides spp., Trichostrongylus sp., Ostertagia sp., Ascaris spp., Nematodirus spp., and Dictyocaulus sp.); and 3 cestodes (Moniezia sp., Taenia spp., and Dipylidium sp.). Prevalence of Taenia spp. infection was the highest, whereas Trichostrongylus sp. and Dictyocaulus sp. infections had the lowest prevalences. Adult ruminants had higher infection prevalence than the younger ones, but this difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). On the other hand, male ruminants had significantly higher infection prevalence than the females (P < 0.05). Helminth prevalence was significantly higher during the rainy season than the dry season. The highest mean egg outputs were recorded for the young and the female ruminants. Likewise, the mean egg output of helminth was higher during the dry than the rainy season, with a significant difference (P < 0.05). Conclusions: These results encourage implementation of effective preventive and control measures directed against the parasites of ruminants throughout the country.

“…Such actors found a high incidence of these parasites with the proportion of 62% of positive results for nematodes and 41.16% for coccids in studies performed in Brasilia. The multiple parasitism in small ruminants is also reported in Mato Grosso do Sul and in Minas Gerais by (COELHO et al,2012).…”

Brazilian sheep farming is an agricultural activity that although it is in a growing expansion still does not have high production of lamb homogeneously from its flock. The sanity is currently in the country one of the factors that hinder the efficiency in sheep production. Animal health should be a priority, as it acts as the foundation for successful breeding. Gastrointestinal endoparasites make each day a more complex obstacle for small ruminant professionals and producers, as such parasites are easy to spread, widely distributed, and sometimes mistakenly controlled. The negative relation in the zootechnical indices of herds that present high infestation of these microorganisms is remarkable. The present work sought through quantitative research, to evaluate the parasitic profile of the sheep herd of an experimental farm in Mineiros, Goiás, in order to provide possible control measures for this problem. However, the results obtained may add to the knowledge of other producers in the region, in order to mitigate factors linked to low productivity due to high endoparasite infestations, so that sheep farming becomes more efficient, not only in the municipality of Mineiros, but all over Brazil

“…A infecção de nematódeos gastrintestinais em associação com coccídeos também foram relatadas por Brito et al (2009) no Maranhão em estudos com caprinos, onde observaram 62,1% das amostras de fezes positivas para nematódeos gastrintestinais e 41,16% para coccídeos. Ataíde & Cansi (2013) no Distrito Federal, observou um multiparasitismo em 22,2% dos caprinos estudados, essa infecção mista também foi relatada por Coelho et al (2012), nos estados de São Paulo, Mato Grosso do Sul, Goiás e Minas Gerais. A precipitação pluviométrica é um dos fatores importantes para a manutenção das larvas de nematódeos no ambiente (Cezar et al 2008) precipitação pluviométrica média em Quixadá no período seco foi de 0,0mm.…”

RESUMO: O objetivo desse trabalho foi avaliar a ocorrência dos principais parasitos gastrintestinais que acometem caprinos adultos e jovens do município de Quixadá-Ceará durante a época seca e chuvosa, além de identificar e quantificar as espécies de Eimeria presentes no rebanho. Foram utilizados 654 animais, sendo 334 animais no período seco, dos quais eram 149 matrizes e 185 crias e 320 animais no período chuvoso, sendo 106 matrizes e 214 crias, independente de padrão racial e sistema de criação. As coletas foram realizadas nos meses de novembro e dezembro de 2012 e maio de 2013 no município de Quixadá-Ceará e encaminhadas ao Laboratório de Parasitologia da Embrapa Caprinos e Ovinos na cidade de Sobral-Ceará. Foram coletadas fezes para contagem do número de ovos por gramas de fezes (OPG), contagem de Oocistos por gramas de fezes (OOPG), coprocultura e identificação das espécies de Eimeria com base na morfometria. As matrizes apresentaram maiores médias de ovos do tipo Strongyloidea (372,03) e Strongyloides (8,45) no período seco e no período chuvoso apresentaram maiores médias apenas para Strongyloidea (502,85). O inverso aconteceu com o OOPG, onde as crias apresentaram maiores médias no período seco (9387,41) e no chuvoso (9630,37). O gênero de nematódeo mais frequente na coprocultura foi o Trichostrongylus sp. (63,67%) no período seco e o Haemonchus sp. no chuvoso (66,67%). Em 100% dos rebanhos, foram encontrados oocistos de Eimeria, com 81% dos animais infectados. A ocorrência da eimeriose nas categorias jovens e adultas foi de 64,3% e 83,2% no período seco e de 87,4% e 92,4% no período chuvoso. As espécies identificadas foram: Eimeria alijevi, E. apsheronica, E. arloingi, E. caprina, E. caprovina, E. christenseni, E. hirci, E. jolchijevi e E. ninakohlyakimovae. Nas crias a E. alijevi foi a mais freqüente no período seco e a E. ninakohlyakimovae no chuvoso. Já nas matrizes a espécie E. alijevi apresentou a maior frequência em ambos os períodos. Nos rebanhos estudados foi evidenciado a presença de ovos de nematódeos gastrointestinais e oocistos de Eimeria spp. independente da categoria animal.
