Q

escribe how parasites survive

A
  • 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

  • TX IN WEANING PERIOD
    • STRESS
    • PRECONDITIONING
40
Q

STRATEGIC TIMES OF THE YEAR FOR DEWORMING

A
  • WHEN OVERWINTERING AND FEW PARASITES
  • WHEN OVERSUMMERING AND FEW PARASITES
  • WHEN AT THE PEAK OF SEASON
    • when u have lots of parasites and u will be trying to reduce pasture contamination
    • N.B IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE SPECIFIC PARASITE YOU ARE DEALING WITH, GEOGRAPHIC AND SEASONAL DISTRIBUTION
