The effects of changes in nutritional demand on gastrointestinal parasitism in lactating rats
(2007)Lactating rats experience a breakdown of immunity to parasites, i.e. they carry larger worm burdens after re-infection compared to their non-lactating counterparts. Feeding high-protein foods to lactating rats results in ... -
Effects of experimental challenge of ewes with Mannheimia haemolytica on subsequent milk composition
(2008)The objective was to describe the physicochemical changes during the early phase of subclinical mastitis and to associate them with pathological findings. A Mannheimia haemolytica strain was deposited into one teat duct ... -
Effects of sarcoptic mange on the reproductive performance of ewes and transmission of Sarcoptes scabiei to newborn lambs
(2001)In each of two experiments, the reproductive performance of ewes naturally infested with sarcoptic mange and of uninfested ewes was assessed in in-season natural breeding conditions (experiment I) or in out-of-season ... -
Effects of three anthelmintic regimes on milk yield of ewes and growth of lambs
(2005)Forty ewes were allocated into one of four groups (n = 10) and were treated with albendazole (ALB) (3.8 mg kg(-1)) before lambing (group A), with ALB before and after lambing (group B), with moxidectin (MXD) (0.2 mg kg(-1)) ... -
Effects of Wolbachia on fitness of the Mediterranean fruit fly (Diptera: Tephritidae)
(2011)Wolbachia pipientis is a widespread endosymbiont of insects and other arthropods exerting a wide range of biological effects on their hosts. A growing number of recent studies document the influence of Wolbachia on ... -
Efficacy of Interferon A-2b Monotherapy in B-Thalassemics with Chronic Hepatitis C
