Studies on Haemonchus contortus infections in Merino sheep

Allonby, Edward Wilson (1974) Studies on Haemonchus contortus infections in Merino sheep. PhD thesis, University of Glasgow.

Abstract

The work described in this thesis was initially directed
towards the elucidation of the self-cure phenomenon as a
flock phenomenon under natural grazing conditions. As a
consequence of these studies it became apparent that several
important aspects of the epidemiology and of the clinical
syndromes associated with haemonchosis required further
investigation. The thesis is therefore essentially a
description of haemonchosis of sheep in an endemic area
supported, where indicated, by observations obtained by
experimental infections. Each of the separate aspects
studied is prefaced by a review of the relevant literature
and the details of many individual observations which are
not included in the text may be found in the various
appendices. Some results, for example the individual
faecal egg counts and worm burdens at autopsy, were too
voluminous to be included and these are available at The
Veterinary School of the University of Glasgow.
