  2. 1. Low biocide emission antifouling based on a novel route of barnacle intoxication

    Author : Emiliano Pinori; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; antifouling; Barnacles; ivermectin; low biocide emission; marine fouling; marine paint; ISO 15181; ToF-SIMS;

    Abstract : Marine biofouling can be defined as the colonization of man-made surfaces in seawater by microscopic and macroscopic organisms. This phenomenon can result in great loss of function and effectiveness both for cruising ships and for static constructions. READ MORE

  4. 2. From field to genetics : anthelmintic resistance in the equine roundworm Parascaris univalens

    Author : Frida Martin; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The equine roundworm Parascaris univalens is a common parasite of foals. Most foals show mild clinical symptoms, but large worm burdens can lead to severe colic and even death. Regular treatment with anthelmintic drugs has resulted in resistance development, mainly to ivermectin but also to pyrantel and fenbendazole in sporadic cases. READ MORE

  5. 3. The genetic basis and monitoring of anthelmintic resistance in the pathogenic endoparasites of small ruminants

    Author : Paulius Baltrusis; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : By parasitizing livestock, gastrointestinal nematodes inflict a significant monetaryburden on the producers and compromise animal health as well as the sustainabilityof animal farming systems. To date, the most reliable way to control parasiticinfections in grazing livestock is through the use of anthelmintic drugs. READ MORE

  6. 4. Gastrointestinal parasites in pigs : prevalence, risk factors and control

    Author : Emelie Pettersson; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Gastrointestinal parasites are common in pigs worldwide, and in all production types. Clinical disease is rare and mainly associated with heavy nematode infections, or piglets infected with the coccidia Cystoisospora suis. Subclinical infections are more common and may result in reduced growth and poor feed utilisation. READ MORE

  7. 5. A transcriptomic tale of two worms : Evaluating Caenorhabditis elegans as a model for Parascaris univalens in drug resistance studies

    Author : Faruk Dube; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Parascaris univalens, an equine roundworm, poses a significant threat to foals, potentially causing lethal intestinal ruptures in high infestations. Infection control relies on a limited arsenal of anthelmintic drugs like ivermectin (IVM). READ MORE
