Giardia duodenalis is one of the most prevalent enteric parasites of dogs. Point-of-care antigen tests (POC) are rapid and do not require additional equipment, or a specialised diagnostic laboratory. The aim of this study was to compare diagnostic tests available in veterinary practices and in a diagnostic laboratory for the detection of G. duodena...

The global poultry industry has experienced dramatic growth in recent decades, increasing the significance of pathogens of chickens. Protozoan parasites of the genus Eimeria can cause the disease coccidiosis, compromising animal health and welfare, and incurring significant annual costs. Seven Eimeria species have long been recognised to infect chi...

Babesiosis is an infectious disease caused by protozoa of the apicomplexan phylum, genus Babesia. It is a malaria-like parasitic disease that can be transmitted via tick bites. The apicomplexan phylum of eukaryotic microbial parasites has had detrimental impacts on human and veterinary medicine. There are only a few drugs currently available to tre...

Eimeria necatrix is a high pathogenic pathogen, which seriously endangers the poultry industry. The surface antigens (SAGs) of Apicomplexa are a kind of membrane protein anchored on the surface of the parasites through its carboxyl terminal glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) structure. However, little is known about GPI-linked surface proteins in E...

Australian producers have long used macrocyclic lactones (MLs) to successfully control cattle gastrointestinal nematodes (GINs) and consequently improve production parameters. However, the trajectory of ML resistance development in cattle GINs is following that of small ruminant nematode populations, highlighting a need for novel treatment options ...

Reports of macrocyclic lactone (ML) loss of efficacy suggest ML resistance in gastrointestinal nematodes (GINs) is a growing problem in the US cattle industry. Empirical and modeling data support combining an ML and second anthelmintic from a different drug class to help ML resistance development while effectively treating existing resistant parasi...

Intensive farming practices and heavy reliance on anthelmintics have contributed significantly to the problem of macrocyclic lactone (ML) resistance in New Zealand. Farmers now have few options for effectively controlling cattle gastrointestinal nematodes (GINs) and regularly experience sub-optimal efficacy against economically important species. W...

We describe a new fixed-dose combination injectable (FDCI) formulated with doramectin and levamisole hydrochloride (HCl) to target broad and overlapping spectra of gastrointestinal nematodes (GINs) through two distinct modes of action. Here, we demonstrate the superior efficacy of the FDCI against mixed populations of cattle GINs in two dose confir...

The objective of this study was to determine whether artificial infestations of D. albipictus could be detected in cattle using near infrared reflectance spectroscopy of bovine feces (fNIRS) and if detection capability was sensitive to size of tick infestation and phase of on-host stage-specific tick development. Fecal samples were collected daily ...
