Traditional Latvian herbal medicinal plants used to treat parasite infections of small ruminants: A review

Alina Klavina et al.

Summary: Traditional Latvian plants such as tansy, mugwort, wormwood, and heather may serve as treatments for intestinal parasites of sheep. These plants have antiparasitic activities, and can be used as a foundation for further research and development of new herbal antiparasitic drugs.

Reproductive females and young mouflon (Ovis gmelini musimon x Ovis sp.) in poor body condition are the main spreaders of gastrointestinal parasites

Gilles Bourgoin et al.

Summary: Individual, environmental, and parasitic factors can affect parasite transmission and impact host fitness. The study on Mediterranean mouflon showed Eimeria spp. and gastrointestinal strongyles were the most common parasites, with higher oocyst and egg counts in females and individuals in poor body condition. Management strategies should focus on reproductive females and young individuals in poor condition.

Endoparasites of European Wildcats (Felis silvestris) in Greece

Anastasia Diakou et al.

Summary: The study investigated the occurrence of endoparasites in European wildcats in Greece, finding that all necropsied wildcats were infected by different parasite taxa, and a majority of faecal samples were also positive. Some of the parasites identified are common in domestic and wild felids, while others, newly described in the European wildcat, have significant pathogenic potential that could pose a threat to infected felids and human health under specific circumstances.
