Profile of endoparasites in dairy cattle in the microregion of São João del-Rei, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil

Abstract: The present study provides the first evaluation of the endoparasite profile in dairy cattle from the microregion of São João del-Rei, Minas Gerais, Brazil, including seasonal variations in parasitic infections. Fecal samples were collected directly from rectum of 123 dairy cows and 160 calves on 15 farms. These were kept in insulated boxes and sent for immediate analysis. Using eggs per gram of feces (EPG) we found the following prevalences: Strongyloidea 43.5%, Moniezia sp. 7.6% and both Strongyloides sp. and… Show more

“…Likewise, feeding practices contribute significantly to parasitosis, given that the oral route is the main access path for infective stages in the organism. Forages can constitute a source of infestation if they come from areas that have been fertilized with excreta or residues contaminated by infective stages of parasites (Soca et al, 2005;Henriques et al, 2021). This agrees with Urdaneta-Fernández et al (2011), who state that the consumption of forage increases the risk of transmission of gastrointestinal nematodes, given that it is the main route of infection for most of the parasites that inhabit the intestinal tract.…”

“…According to Borges et al (2015), the specie considered most relevant in cattle is H. placei, because it causes gastric lesions due to its high capacity for hematophagy (Taylor et al, 2017). Higher prevalences for the order Strongylida were also found in predominantly dairy cattle in northeastern Colombia (17.9%) and in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil (47.2%), by Pinilla León et al ( 2019) and Henriques et al (2021), respectively.…”

“…Among nematode helminths, the most important and prevalent genera worldwide are those belonging to the superfamily Trichostrongyloidea, especially in tropical areas with a semiarid climate (Almeida et al, 2020). These helminths cause parasitic gastroenteritis in cattle (Micheloud et al, 2015;Henriques et al, 2021;Melo et al, 2021). Among enteric coccidia, Eimeria genera stands out because of its cosmopolitan distribution and parasitism in cattle worldwide, causing high levels of cases of coccidiosis, which can affect up to 100% of young cattle, especially during the first weeks of life (Faber et al, 2002;Gunathilaka et al, 2018;Hamid et al, 2019;Melo et al, 2022).…”
