IMMUNITY THAT SETS IN DUE TO CHRONIC INFECTION
PREMUNITION
KNOWN AS INFECTION IMMUNITY
USUALLY DUE TO SUBCLINICAL INFECTION
POPULATION OF WORMS NT SELECTED FOR DRUG TX
refugia
Arrested worm development
hypobiosis and overwintering
eg ostertagia
parasites decides not to hatch
a pasture which is better than contaminated but not on the same level as safe pasture
clean pasture
a pasture that is good for struggling animals which u dnt want to come into contact with parasites
safe pasture
escribe how parasites survive
- Survival from one season toanother
- Adult in host
- Arrested larvae in host
- As free living stages in the environment (Ascarid and Trichuris spp. Have tough eggs)
- Within intermediate hosts
– Only

which worms have tough eggs and can survive as free living in the env.
- ascarid
- trichuris
the worms that u dnt find in cold places
hemonchus
only in hot places
this worm has l3 in egg
trichostrongylus
MAIN WORMS IN SMALL RUMINANTS
HEMONCUS
TRICHOSTRONGYI
COOPERIA CURTICEI
OSOPHAGOSTUMUM
OTHER IMPORTANT GI PARASISITES FOR SR
Nematodirus
– Trichuris
– Bunostumum
– Strongyloides
Papilosm
.
DESCRIBE THE LFECYCLE OF HEMONCHUS N WHERE IT IS FOUND IN THE GI
Abomasum or
small intes)ne
• Hemonchous contortous
• Hatch on pasture within 5 days
in hot months
• Climb vegeta)on
• Exsheath and lay eggs in 14days
• High fecundity = contamina)on =dirty pasture
• H.contortus and Teladorsagia can undergohypob osis
• Economically important
• Extract 1/10th of blood volume per day
