The interactions between host nutrition and parasitism in ruminants are viewed within a
framework that accounts for the allocation of scarce nutrient resources, such as energy and …

This overview focuses on the interaction between nutritional status and gastrointestinal
nematode infection in ruminants and considers:(i) the influence of the parasite on host …

Interactions between host nutrition and feeding behaviour are central to understanding the
pathophysiological consequences of infections of the digestive tract with parasitic …

The development and occurrence of anorexia, the voluntary reduction in food intake during
parasitic infections in animals, is somewhat paradoxical and contrary to conventional …

Resistance and resilience of the ruminant host to gastrointestinal (GI) parasitic nematode
infections are influenced by many factors, including nutrition. This review examines the …

Infection with gastrointestinal nematodes, particularly Ostertagia species in domestic
ruminants, continues to represent an important cause of impaired productivity in temperate …

The effects of condensed tannins (CT) extracted from seven forages on the motility of the
economically important nematode, Trichostrongylus colubriformis (Giles, 1892), were …

The objective of this study was to evaluate effects of the condensed tannin (CT)-containing
forage sericea lespedeza (sericea lespedeza (SL); Lespedeza cuneata; 15.2% CT), on fecal …

Growing lambs (mean liveweight 22.4 kg) were used to test for the effects of long-term
subclinical infection with Trichostrongylus colubriformis (2500 larvae per day) on the …

Gastrointestinal helminths challenge ruminants in ways that reduce their fitness. In turn,
ruminants have evolved physiological and behavioral adaptations that counteract this …
