Sheep and goat nematode resistance to anthelmintics: pro and cons among breeding management factors

Abstract: -Although the molecular bases of resistance to anthelmintic families have been intensively studied, the contributing factors for the development of anthelmintic resistance are less well known. Clear recommendations must be given to farmers in order to delay the onset of anthelmintic resistance. Until now, the main advice has concerned the reduction of treatment frequency in order to slow down the spread of resistance. Anthelmintic resistance development depends mostly on an efficient selection pressure. This m… Show more

“…The control of H. contortus is largely based on pasture management and the use of anthelmintics. Clean pastures are not, however, readily available under intensive grazing conditions and there is an increasing occurrence of parasites resistant to anthelmintics [4,11,15,28,30,31]. Therefore, increasing attention has been given to the development of alternative control methods such as the use of vaccines.…”

“…With extensive beef grazing or with beef suckler herds a large percentage of the worms are in refugia (not exposed to anthelmintics) [26] and few anthelmintic treatments are used in most parts of the world. These conditions do not favour the appearance of resistance [23]. During the last 15 years in South America, technologies for gastrointestinal control in livestock have been sustained by the large use of broad-spectrum anthelmintics [25].…”

“…No obstante, su eficacia no alcanza el 100% y la resistencia antihelmíntica es un problema que en la industria ganadera ha venido en aumento; se ha reportado que la mayor prevalencia de la resistencia a los antihelmínticos en el mundo se presenta en parásitos de ovinos y caprinos (3). Dentro de los factores que se ha visto que influyen en la aparición de resistencia se contempla la frecuencia del tratamiento antihelmíntico y el número de tratamientos con la misma familia de antihelmínticos por tiempos muy prolongados (25). Según la literatura la resistencia de adultos de H. contortus en las ovejas se favorece por la capacidad de este nematodo para persistir por muchos meses en el rumiante, lo que le permite tanto adquirir resistencia como producir la próxima generación con esta característica de adaptación al hospedero (26).…”

“…Este hallazgo puede estar relacionado con la posible adquisición de resistencia, ya reportada en diferentes estudios (25,27); evento de adaptación del parásito para el cual se conocen como mecanismos la capacidad para realizar hipobiosis (28), adaptación a bajas concentraciones del químico y su exposición a períodos largos de tiempo (26).…”
