Quiz five
strongyles & trichostrongyles
Question | Answer |
---|---|
2 teeth in buccal capsule, most pathogenic, causes acute verminous arteritis, cause of colic | S. vulgaris |
no teeth | S. edentatus |
3 teeth in buccal capsule | S. equinus |
– L3’s penetrate the mucosa of the cecum/colon→molt to L4 in the liver and migrate to the peritoneum→molt to L5 in the intestinal wall | S. edentatus |
L4’s molt in the submucosa of the cecum/colon→migrate to the liver and L5’s molt in the intestinal wall/pancreas. | S. equinus |
Life cycle - Direct and non-migratory, hypobiosis | Small strongyles (30+ species) |
Pathology - mucosal lesions during larval encystment and re-emergence contributes to colic (abdominal distress | Small Strongyles |
LEAF CROWN & TEETHIN BUCCAL CAPSULE | SMALL STRONGYLE |
Parasiticide resistance | heritable mutation permits survival |
resistance to all drugs within that action class (e.g., benzimidazoles) | Side resistance |
Low-dose daily feeding of pyrantel tartrate may lead to resistance of | small strongyles |
may promote the selection of resistance genes (against pryantel pamoate & oxibendazole) | The mode of administration |
To slow or stop anthelmintic resistance | administer when actually needed |
Swine Nodular worm | Oesophagostomum dentatum |
Common in adults pigs | Oesophagostomum dentatum |
reduced litter size | “Thin sow” syndrome |
Nodular worm of cattle (O. radiatum | Oesophagostomum spp |
May cause diarrhea | Oesophagostomum spp |
Nodules are seen in the walls of small and large intestines. | Oesophagostomum spp |
Adults in Large intestine | Oesophagostomum spp |
sheep and goats) | O. venulosum, O. columbianum |
Swine Kidney worm | Stephanurus dentatum |
Complex life cycle, including larval migration through liver | Stephanurus dentatum |
Adults have “mottled” appearance | Stephanurus dentatum |
Condemnation of liver at slaughter | Stephanurus dentatum |
Gapeworm | Syngamus trachea |
Adults are “in permanent copula | Syngamus trachea |
Form a “Y” shape | Syngamus trachea |
Reside in trachea/upper bronchi of avian species | Syngamus trachea |
Pathology – dyspnea, suffocation & death | Syngamus trachea |
Brown or Western Stomach Worm | Ostertagia (Teladorsagia) |
cattle | O. ostertagia |
sheep and goats | T. circumcinta |
larval invasion of gastric glands (2 main types of disease): | Ostertagia (Teladorsagia) |
weanling calves in first grazing season are target animals (late spring); diarrhea and weight loss (low mortality) | Type 1 |
caused by rapid emergence of hypobiotic larvae, yearling calves enter second grazing season (late winter); may be high mortality | Type 2 |
Barber Pole Worm | Haemonchus |
Most severe in sheep | Haemonchus |
Adults have small buccal capsule w/lancet to pierce mucosa and suck blood | Haemonchus |
Gut - uterus and ovaries wind around blood-filled gut resembling a barber pole | Haemonchus |
Direct life cycle | Haemonchus |
Hypobiosis - important for larvae to over-winter in host and reemerge when conditions are better | Haemonchus |
acute haemonchosis (10,000+ worms) in young causes anemia & bottle jaw. | Haemonchus |
Chronic haemonchosis (100-1000 worms) | Haemonchus |
Use a scale to measure blood loss (anemia) in sheep & goats | FAMACHA |
Selective rather than whole-herd treatment | FAMACHA |
Designed to delay the development of resistance in an unselected population (“refugia” or wild gene pool) which have a pool of sensitive genes. | FAMACHA |
Thin-necked intestinal worm | Nematodirus |
Hosts: cattle and sheep | Nematodirus |
Acute diarrhea in young animals | Nematodirus |
Eggs – LARGER than typical trichostrongyle egg | Nematodirus |
Cattle Bankrupt Worm | Cooperia |
Hosts: cattle, sheep & goats | Cooperia |
Not highly pathogenic | Cooperia |
May cause some diarrhea, anorexia & depressed growth | Cooperia |
Resides in the small intestine | Cooperia |
Very common species | Trichostronglylus axei |
Can cross-infect between ruminants, horses, and swine | Trichostronglylus axei |
Causes gastroenteritis in young animals (“black scours”) | Trichostronglylus axei |
“Red stomach worm” | Hyostrongylus |
Larvated eggs found in “fresh” feces | Hyostrongylus |
Direct life cycle; no migration of larvae | Hyostrongylus |
Larvae molt in the gastric mucosa | Hyostrongylus |
Clinical signs: anemia, poor appetite, stomach nodules & ulceration | Hyostrongylus |
