Assessment of three DNA extraction kits for the absolute quantification of strongyle nematode eggs in faecal samples

Niclas Hogberg et al.

Summary: This study evaluated three genomic DNA extraction kits for the detection of H. contortus DNA in faecal samples using droplet digital PCR. The Nucleospin DNA Stool kit showed the highest DNA yield and lowest coefficient of variation, making it a viable option for diagnostic purposes.

Sheep nemabiome diversity and its response to anthelmintic treatment in Swedish sheep herds

Peter Halvarsson et al.

Summary: By conducting deep sequencing on samples from Swedish sheep, the study investigated the species composition and diversity of nematode parasites, showing that some anthelmintic treatments can reduce nematode diversity without being affected by host age.

Delayed weaning improves the growth of lambs grazing chicory (Cichorium intybus) pastures

B. J. Campbell et al.

Summary: Delaying lamb weaning age can potentially increase lamb body weight growth, but it did not improve lamb parasite resilience in this study.

Subclinical nematode parasitism affects activity and rumination patterns in first-season grazing cattle

Niclas Hogberg et al.

Summary: This study investigated the activity and rumination patterns in first-season grazing steers exposed to subclinical infection levels of gastrointestinal nematodes. The results showed that behavioral measurements were affected even at low infection levels but did not affect body weight gain.

Nematode parasitism affects lying time and overall activity patterns in lambs following pasture exposure around weaning

Niclas Hogberg et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that the activity of first season grazing lambs exposed to different levels of gastrointestinal nematode infections is influenced, specifically around the weaning period. Automated behaviour recordings show potential as a diagnostic tool for detecting nematode parasites in lambs, even at moderate infection levels.
