#1 - An assessment of nematode resistance to anthelmintics in flocks of sheep in the county of Bagé, RS
Abstract in English:
Thirty one farms, located throughout the county of Bagé, Rio Grande do Sul, were assessed for anthelmintic usage and for sheep nematode resistance to anthelmintics. On each farm, 30 weaned lambs were weighed, ear-tagged and divided into three groups of ten. One group received thiabendazole at 66.75mg/kg, the second tetramisole at 12.6mg/kg, while the third remained untreated as a control. All lambs were drenched according to their individual body weight. Faeces were collected from all animals on the day of treatment and 7 days later to provide material for egg counts and larval cultures. Between the 31 surveyed farms, 38.7% showed benzimidazole resistance, 25.8% resistance to leva/tetramisole and 19.4% had multiple resistance. At the time of the assessment all farmers were using broad spectrum anthelmintics. The results of larval cultures showed that larvae surviving the treatment with thiabendazole were mainly Haemonchus, while those surviving tetramisole treatment were Trichostrongylus spp and Ostertagia spp.
Abstract in Portuguese:
A avaliação de resistência de parasitos aos anti-helmínticos a nível de campo foi realizado em 31 rebanhos de ovinos de Bagé, RS. Em cada fazenda foram separados 30 cordeiros desmamados (nascidos no inverno-primavera anterior) os quais foram individualmente pesados, identificados e distribuídos em três tratamentos: 1) Thiabendazole = 66,75mg/kg; 2) Tetramisole = 12,6mg/kg e 3) Controle = não medicado. Os anti-helmínticos foram administrados conforme o peso individual de cada cordeiro. Fezes foram coletadas para OPG e cultura de larvas no dia da medicação e 7 dias após. Das 31 propriedades estudadas 38,7% apresentaram resistência aos benzimidazóis, 25,8% aos leva/tetramisóis e 19,4% resistência múltipla. Apenas 16,1 % apresentavam-se totalmente sensíveis aos anti-helnúnticos. Os resultados das culturas de larvas revelaram que as larvas que sobreviveram a medicação com thiabendazole eram principalmente Haemonchus spp enquanto que as sobreviventes ao tratamento com leva/tetramisole eram principalmente Trichostrongylus spp e Ostertagia spp.
