Disease relevance of Dictyocaulus

• A grazing study was performed with the main objective to compare the effect of moxidectin (MDT) and fenbendazole (FBZ) in a 'dose and move' system on nematode infections in calves with special emphasis on Dictyocaulus viviparus [1].

High impact information on Dictyocaulus

• The DvA-1 polyprotein of the parasitic nematode Dictyocaulus viviparus. A small helix-rich lipid-binding protein [2].
• Immunisation of cattle with recombinant acetylcholinesterase from Dictyocaulus viviparus and with adult worm ES products [3].
• Extensive diversity in repeat unit sequences of the cDNA encoding the polyprotein antigen/allergen from the bovine lungworm Dictyocaulus viviparus [4].
• Therefore, LDH has been designated as an important diagnostic tool to differentiate between species of genus Dictyocaulus [5].
• 4. Two cows excreted larvae of Dictyocaulus viviparus (0.1 and 0.6 LPG resp.). Worms were found in the abomasa of 108 cows (96%) [6].

Biological context of Dictyocaulus

• Effect of sub-lethal doses of albendazole on the fecundity of Dictyocaulus viviparus [7].

Associations of Dictyocaulus with chemical compounds

• Efficacy of fenbendazole against adult Dictyocaulus viviparus in experimentally infected calves [8].
• Efficacy of ivermectin and levamisole against immature Dictyocaulus viviparus in cattle [9].
• Anthelmintic efficacy of albendazole against adult Dictyocaulus viviparus in experimentally infected calves [10].
• Single doses of 7.5 mg/kg levamisole subcutaneously and 5 mg/kg oxfendazole per os and three daily doses of diethylcarbamazine intramuscularly were 86.9, 82.1 and 46.6 per cent efficient, respectively, against one-day-old Dictyocaulus viviparus [11].
• Efficacy of mebendazole against Dictyocaulus arnfieldi in the donkey [12].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Dictyocaulus

• Efficacy of levamisole pour-on compared with levamisole subcutaneous injection against Dictyocaulus viviparus infection in calves [13].
• Various cooling (0.1-5,100 degrees C min-1) and warming (20-6,800 degrees C min-1) rates, stepped cooling schedules and four cryoprotective additives (dimethyl sulphoxide, methanol, ethanediol and glycerol) were investigated in cryopreservation studies with Dictyocaulus viviparus third-stage larvae [14].
