Q

Ostertagia Ostertagia

  • Lifecycle
  • high or low egg producer

  • what happens to abomasol PH
A

LC: larva to gastric glands, molt to L4
- develop and emerge 10-14 days later, adult egg layers in 3 wks (TYPE I)
OR Hypobios (winter in N, Summer in South) (Pre type II), emerge in mass TYPE II, Disease w/L4 emergence from gastric glands (destroy gastric gland on emergence)
- Is a low egg producer
- test for increased pepsinogen, low serum protein and elevated serum gastrin
- abomasal PH rises (low ph changes pepsinogen to pepsin)

Q

6 strategies to treat and control parasites:

A 
Suppressive, 
Salvage, 
Strategic, 
Tactical, 
Opportunistic, 
Individual.
121
Q 
Suppressive strategy- 
Goal: 
Strategy: 
Problems: 
Results:
A

Goal: remove parasites from the environment.

Strategy: Treat every 3 weeks or monthly during transmission period.

Problem: Strong selection for anthelmintic resistance, suppresses immune response.

Result: eradication or complete failure.

122
Q 
Salvage strategy- 
Goal: 
Strategy: 
Problems: 
Results:
A

Goal: Save the lives of animals with severe disease.

Strategy: Treat only those that are severely diseased.

Problem: Will have continuous issues of severely diseased animals if no other actions are taken to prevent them from getting to that stage.

Result: Does NOT select for anthelmintic resistance. May have substantial economic impact.

123
Q 
Strategic strategy- 
Goal: 
Strategy: 
Problems: 
Results:
A

Goal: Provide safe pastures.

Strategy: Treat when:

  • most of the worms are in the host and not on pasture.
  • at parturition when larvae are arrested and not producing eggs.
  • Moving animals onto “safe pastures”.

Problem: Selects for resistance.

Result: Works well in areas where it is only done once a year (such as W Tx). Not for use in E Tx.

124
Q 
Tactical strategy- 
Goal: 
Strategy: 
Problems: 
Results:
A

Goal: Prevent parasitic disease.

Strategy: Treat when the potential for parasitic disease is increasing but not yet showing clinical signs.

    • 2 weeks after rainfall.
    • When egg counts pass a certain threshold.
  • When moving to safe pastures.

Problem: Still selects for resistance but not as bad.

Results: Lowers pasture contamination and prevents clinical signs.

125
Q 
Opportunistic strategy- 
Goal: 
Strategy: 
Problems: 
Results:
A

Goal: Make the owner feel better.

Strategy: Treat for parasites when economic and situations allow.

Problem: Treatment time might not be the most effective time to treat.

Results: Depending of time of treatment with parasite life cycle may reduce parasites or may not affect parasite load at all.

126
Q 
Individual strategy- 
Goal: 
Strategy: 
Problems: 
Results:
A

Goal: Decrease contamination of pastures.

Strategy: Treat only the individuals that are the highest egg shedders. Cull/ don’t breed high shedders.

Problem: Not a good treatment plan for young animals.

Results: Does not select for anthelmintic resistance.

Tritrichomonas foetus

  • local of protozoa
  • clinical signs and when
  • who clears infection, who remains carriers
A
  • Location: Repro tract, uterus of cows; mucous membranes or semen in bulls (prepuce or penis)
  • CS: abortion of cows at around 4 months
  • Clears: most cows clear the infection after 1st abortion, some young bulls can clear.

  • chronic bull, AI semen in liquid nitrogen
  • heifer bred, organisms in uterus
  • repro via binary fision
  • female: abortion, self cure
  • male: chronic carrier trophozoites in mucous membr. of prepuce or penis
  • trophozoites repro via binary fision
183
Q

tritrichomonas Foetus

  • Treatment:
  • Diagnosis:
  • What do you breed to what
  • What’s required to be tested
    -
A
  • Tx: None, but there is a vaccine (trichguard)- vacc. 2x’s at 2-4 wk intervals and annually, 4 weeks prior to breeding - vaccine may lower incidence of dz
  • Dx: Culture or PCR organism
  • Breed:
    • breed infected bulls to prev. infected cows
    • breed virgin bulls to virgin heifers
  • bulls before sale except for slaughter. 2 neg. tests at least 7 days apart required for bulls to be sold for interstate (between states) breeding
184
