  • Resistance of Trichostrongylus spp. (Nematoda) to benzimidazole in Algerian cattle herds grazed with sheep
    Parasitology Research, 2011
    Co-Authors: B. Bentounsi, Ahmed Khaznadar, Jacques Cabaret
    Abstract:

    Drug resistance in cattle strongyles to anthelmintics is rarely described in Europe and in the Mediterranean areas. The faecal egg counts are usually low in cattle, and detection of resistance may be particularly difficult. We used the method of twice-repeated treatments and used various estimations of efficacies in order to detect cattle strongyle resistance to benzimidazoles. Resistance was found in two farms among eight that were studied. Trichostrongylus axei was the resistant species in one farm whereas Trichostrongylus sp. was found in another farm. In both farms, there were sheep flocks with a history of strongyle benzimidazole resistance and practice of alternate or mixed grazing with cattle.

  • benzimidazole resistance in Trichostrongylus axei in sheep long term monitoring of affected sheep and genotypic evaluation of the parasite
    Veterinary Journal, 2010
    Co-Authors: Chrystele Palcy, Anne Silvestre, Jacques Cortet, Colette Sauve, Jacques Cabaret
    Abstract:

    Abstract This is the first report of benzimidazole (BZ) resistance in the nematode Trichostrongylus axei in sheep. Trichostrongylus axei infects several species of herbivores including sheep, cattle and horses, and the emergence of anthelmintic resistance could lead to significant problems in its control. Benzimidazole resistance in two sheep flocks in central France was detected by post-treatment worm counts. The sequencing of a central region of the isotype 1 β-tubulin gene from adult T. axei recovered post-mortem revealed only one, non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphism at position 200 (Phe200Tyr), which had already been reported for other nematodes. Seven years after BZ treatment ceased, T. axei helminths present were still resistant to BZ suggesting these parasites do not revert to susceptibility to this anthelmintic, even when the selection pressure had been removed for many years. The findings also highlight major changes in the make-up of the nematode burden in sheep flocks that accompanies the emergence of BZ resistance.
