Abstract
Hypobiosis (facultative developmental arrest) is the most important life-cycle adaptation ensuring survival of parasitic nematodes under adverse conditions. Little is known about such survival mechanisms, although ascarosides (ascarylose with fatty acid-derived side chains) have been reported to mediate the formation of dauer larvae in the free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Here, we investigated the role of a key gene acox-1, in the larval development of Haemonchus contortus, one of the most important parasitic nematodes that employ hypobiosis as a routine survival mechanism. In this parasite, acox-1 encodes three proteins (ACOXs) that all show a fatty acid oxidation activity in vitro and in vivo, and interact with a peroxin PEX-5 in peroxisomes. In particular, a peroxisomal targeting signal type1 (PTS1) sequence is required for ACOX-1 to be recognised by PEX-5. Analyses on developmental transcription and tissue expression show that acox-1 is predominantly expressed in the intestine and hypodermis of H. contortus, particularly in the early larval stages in the environment and the arrested fourth larval stage within host animals. Knockdown of acox-1 and pex-5 in parasitic H. contortus shows that these genes play essential roles in the post-embryonic larval development and likely in the facultative arrest of this species. A comprehensive understanding of these genes and the associated β-oxidation cycle of fatty acids should provide novel insights into the developmental regulation of parasitic nematodes, and into the discovery of novel interventions for species of socioeconomic importance.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of medicinal herbal mixtures rich in phenolic, flavonoid and alkaloid compounds on ruminal fermentation and microbial populations, and fatty acid (FA) concentrations and lipid oxidation in tissues of lambs infected with the gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) parasite (Haemonchus contortus). Parallel in vitro and in vivo studies were performed using two different herbal mixtures (Mix1 and Mix2). The in vitro study was conducted in a 2 (infection status; non-infected versus infected) × 3 (diets; control, Mix1 and Mix2) factorial design. In the in vivo study, 24 lambs were equally divided into four treatments: non-infected lambs fed a control diet, infected lambs fed the control diet, infected lambs fed a diet with Mix1 and infected lambs fed a diet with Mix2. Herbal mixtures (100 g dry matter (DM)/d) were added to the basal diets of meadow hay (ad libitum) and a commercial concentrate (500 g DM/d). The experimental period lasted for 70 days. Ruminal fermentation characteristics and methane production were not affected by infection in vivo or in vitro. Both herbal mixture supplementation increased total volatile fatty acid (VFA) concentrations (P < 0.01) and DM digestibility (P < 0.01) in vitro. Archaea population was slightly diminished by both herbal mixtures (P < 0.05), but they did not lower methane production in vitro or in vivo (P > 0.05). Infection of H. contortus or herbal mixtures modulated FA proportion mainly in the liver, especially the long chain FA proportion. Concentrations of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) in serum were significantly higher after 70 days post-infection in the infected lambs. Herbal Mix1 supplementation reduced TBARS concentrations in meat after seven days of storage. In conclusion, supplementing of herbal mixtures to the diets of GIN parasite infected lambs did not affect the basic ruminal fermentation parameters. Herbal mixtures may improve few FA proportions mainly in liver as well as decrease lipid oxidation in meat.

Abstract
Eosinophils are one of the major mammalian effector cells encountered by helminths during infection. In the present study, we investigated the effects of eosinophil granule exposure on the sheep parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus as a model. H. contortus eggs exposed to eosinophil granule products showed increased rhodamine 123 efflux and this effect was not due to loss of egg integrity. Rh123 is known to be a specific P-glycoprotein (Pgp) substrate and led to the hypothesis that in addition to their critical role in xenobiotic resistance, helminth ABC transporters such as Pgp may also be involved in the detoxification of host cytotoxic products. We showed by quantitative RT-PCR that, among nine different H. contortus Pgp genes, Hco-pgp-3, Hco-pgp-9.2, Hco-pgp-11 and, Hco-pgp-16 were specifically up-regulated in parasitic life stages suggesting a potential involvement of these Pgps in the detoxification of eosinophil granule products. Using exsheathed L3 larvae that mimic the first life stage in contact with the host, we demonstrated that eosinophil granules induced a dose dependent overexpression of Hco-pgp-3 and the closely related Hco-pgp-16. Taken together, our results provide the first evidence that a subset of helminth Pgps interact with, and could be involved in the detoxification of, host products. This opens the way for further studies aiming to explore the role of helminth Pgps in the host-parasite interaction, including evasion of the host immune response.

Abstract
The evolution of drug resistant bacteria is a severe public health problem, both in hospitals and in the community. Currently, some countries aim at concentrating highly specialized services in large hospitals in order to improve patient outcomes. Emergent resistant strains often originate in health care facilities, but it is unknown to what extent hospital size affects resistance evolution and the resulting spillover of hospital-associated pathogens to the community. We used two published datasets from the US and Ireland to investigate the effects of hospital size and controlled for several confounders such as antimicrobial usage, sampling frequency, mortality, disinfection and length of stay. The proportion of patients acquiring both sensitive and resistant infections in a hospital strongly correlated with hospital size. Moreover, we observe the same pattern for both the percentage of resistant infections and the increase of hospital-acquired infections over time. One interpretation of this pattern is that chance effects in small hospitals impede the spread of drug-resistance. To investigate to what extent the size distribution of hospitals can directly affect the prevalence of antibiotic resistance, we use a stochastic epidemiological model describing the spread of drug resistance in a hospital setting as well as the interaction between one or several hospitals and the community. We show that the level of drug resistance typically increases with population size: In small hospitals chance effects cause large fluctuations in pathogen population size or even extinctions, both of which impede the acquisition and spread of drug resistance. Finally, we show that indirect transmission via environmental reservoirs can reduce the effect of hospital size because the slow turnover in the environment can prevent extinction of resistant strains. This implies that reducing environmental transmission is especially important in small hospitals, because such a reduction not only reduces overall transmission but might also facilitate the extinction of resistant strains. Overall, our study shows that the distribution of hospital sizes is a crucial factor for the spread of drug resistance. The increasing spread of bacteria, which are resistant to antibiotics, is a serious threat to clinical care. Currently, several countries aim at concentrating highly specialized services in large hospitals in order to improve patient outcomes. However, empirical studies have shown that resistance levels correlate with hospital size. To illustrate this correlation, we analyze two published datasets from the US and Ireland and controlled for antimicrobial usage, disinfection and length of stay. The proportion of patients acquiring both sensitive and resistant infections in hospitals strongly correlated with hospital size. Moreover, we observe the same pattern for both the percentage of resistant infections and the temporal increase of hospital-acquired infections. To investigate to what extent hospital size can directly affect the prevalence of antibiotic resistance, we use mathematical models describing the epidemic spread of resistance in hospitals and the community. We find that small hospitals typically lead to considerably lower resistance levels than large hospitals. However, this beneficial effect of small hospital size may be reduced if bacteria are transmitted indirectly via the environment. Therefore, reducing environmental transmission might be particularly important in small hospitals. Overall, our findings suggest that the short-term benefits of larger hospitals may come at the price of increasing resistance in the long term.

Abstract
Sheep have a varying ability to resist infection with gastrointestinal nematodes. This ability is due in part to genetic differences that exist between individuals. In order to define these differences we have used real-time PCR to quantify gene expression responses in the gut mucosal surface of genetically resistant and susceptible sheep, following a nematode challenge. Expression profiles were determined in response to two different nematode species, Haemonchus contortus and Trichostrongylus colubriformis, and in divergent sheep originating from two different genetic backgrounds. Results show that the response generated differs between resistant and susceptible animals and is further impacted by the origin of the sheep and nematode species used for challenge. However, some conserved features of a response mounted by a resistant or a susceptible animal were identified. Genes found to be more abundantly expressed in resistant animals include markers of an early inflammatory response, several Toll-like receptors (TLR2, 4, 9) and free radical producing genes (DUOX1 and NOS2A). Conversely, genes differentiating susceptible animals indicate a prolonged response and development of a chronic inflammatory state, characterised by elevated expression of members of the NF-kappabeta signalling pathway (IKBKB and NFKBIA) together with delayed expression of regulatory markers such as IL2RA (CD25), IL10 and TGFbeta2. While multiple nematode response pathways were identified, the identification of conserved aspects of the response which associate with resistance provides evidence that alternative nematode control strategies, such as breeding for resistant animals, may be feasible.

Abstract
The effect of Haemonchus contortus infection in sheep fed with a moderate and high protein content diet was evaluated in two breeds of sheep. Forty-eight Ile de France and Santa Ines lambs were maintained indoors since birth, in worm-free conditions. The lambs were allocated after weaning in four groups of six animals per breed, which were either infected or remain uninfected and given access to either a moderately or highly metabolizable protein diet. The moderately and highly metabolizable protein diets were calculated to supply 75 and 129 g metabolizable protein per kg of dry matter (MP/kg DM), respectively. The infection consisted of a trickle infection with 300 infective larvae, three times a week, for 12 weeks. Significant differences were observed for mast cell, globule leukocyte and eosinophil counts in the abomasal mucosa of the infected groups compared to the control of both breeds (P<0.05), regardless of the diet supplied. Significantly higher IgA anti-L5 antibody was detected in the infected Santa Ines groups than in the infected Ile de France groups (P<0.05). Increased metabolizable protein supply resulted in larger body weight gain and higher packed cell volumes for both breeds (P<0.05). Both breeds showed an increased ability to withstand the pathophysiological effects of H. contortus infection when given access to the highly metabolizable protein diet. However, increased metabolizable protein supply resulted in reduced worm burdens in Santa Ines lambs but not in the Ile de France lambs (P<0.05). The present results show that the increase in protein content in growing lamb diets may benefit resistance and resilience to gastrointestinal parasites but that these benefits may vary among breeds.

Abstract
The objective of the experiment was to determine the optimal dose of copper oxide wire particles (COWPs) to reduce infection of Haemonchus contortus in male lambs. Five to six-month-old hair breed lambs were housed on concrete and fed 450 (L; n = 25) or 675 g (H; n = 25) corn/soybean meal supplement and bermudagrass hay. In July, lambs were inoculated with 10,000 L(3) larvae (97% H. contortus; Day 0). Lambs were administered 0, 2, 4, or 6 g COWP on Day 28. Concentrations of copper in the liver were determined. There were no effects of supplement level on concentrations of copper in the liver and a linear relationship existed between COWP treatment and concentrations of copper in liver (P < 0.001). Least squares means of the 0, 2, 4, 6 g COWP treatments were 62.2, 135.7, 161.1, and 208.4 ppm (P < 0.001). Between Days 0 and 28, PCV declined and by Day 42, PCV of all COWP-treated lambs was markedly higher than control lambs and remained higher (COWP x day, P < 0.05). By Day 21, PCV was greater in the H compared with the L group of lambs (P < 0.001). Within 14 days of COWP treatment FEC declined from more than 8000 eggs/g (epg) to less than 250 epg in all COWP-treated lambs (COWP x day, P < 0.001). The numbers of H. contortus in the abomasum were greatly reduced in all COWP-treated groups of lambs and remaining nematodes were predominantly males. FEC were greater in L versus H supplemented lambs and values decreased to a greater extent in H lambs when treated with COWP (supplement x COWP; P < 0.02). The 2 g COWP was effective in alleviating H. contortus infection and reducing number of egg-laying nematodes in the abomasum with the lowest concentration of copper in the liver of the COWP treatment groups. PCV values were more favorable for lambs fed the higher level of supplement, especially when FEC were greater than 8000 epg.

Abstract
Although the use of tanniferous plants or condensed tannins as an alternative to anthelmintics to control gastrointestinal nematodes has been largely documented in sheep, studies remain scarce in goats. The objective of this study was therefore to assess the possible impact of condensed tannins in goats infected with adult Haemonchus contortus. Two groups of cull goats were experimentally infected with 10.000 L3 of H. contortus. After 4 weeks, quebracho extracts, representing 5% of the diet DM, were administered for 8 days to one of the two groups. Goats of the second group remained as controls. One week after the end of quebracho administration, the goats were euthanised. Individual egg excretion and pathophysiological parameters were measured weekly during the study. At the end of the study, worm counts were assessed and histological samples from the abomasa were taken to count the numbers of mucosal mast cells, globule leukocytes and eosinophils. The administration of tannins was associated with a significant decrease in egg excretion, which persisted until the end of experiment. This reduction was not associated with any difference in worm number but with a significant decrease in female fecundity. No significant changes in the mucosal density of the three inflammatory cell types were detected between the two groups. These results indicate that the major consequence of tannin consumption in goats is a reduction in worm fecundity and egg output, which does not seem related to significant changes in the local mucosal response.

Abstract
A novel mammalian galectin cDNA (ovgal11) was isolated by representational difference analysis from sheep stomach (abomasal) tissue infected with the nematode parasite, Haemonchus contortus. The mRNA is greatly up-regulated in helminth larval infected gastrointestinal tissue subject to inflammation and eosinophil infiltration. Immunohistological analysis indicates that the protein is localized in the cytoplasm and nucleus of upper epithelial cells of the gastrointestinal tract. The protein is also detected in mucus samples collected from infected abomasum but not from uninfected tissue. The restricted and inducible expression of ovgal11 mRNA and limited secretion of the protein support the hypothesis that OVGAL11 may be involved in gastrointestinal immune/inflammatory responses and possibly protection against infection.

Abstract
Abomasal pH and serum pepsinogen and gastrin were increased in parasite-naive sheep by infection with either larval or adult H. contortus. Four sheep received 10000 larvae intraruminally and 9000 adult worms were given directly via an abomasal cannula to another 4 sheep. The latter animals were dosed orally with 0.4 mg kg-1 ivermectin 4 days after worm transfer and their recovery was monitored for a further 8 days. Whereas the presence of adult worms rapidly induced changes in the secretory activity of the abomasum, the early larval stages had minimal effects up to the 4th day post-infection. After either larval or adult infection, the initial hypergastrinaemia began at the same time as the increase in abomasal pH, but serum gastrin continued to increase after abomasal pH had reached a maximum and returned more slowly to normal values after drenching. The increase in serum pepsinogen did not precede those in the other parameters, unlike the earlier hyperpepsinogenaemia which occurs with Ostertagia infection. Three of the 8 infected sheep had no detectable serum pepsinogen increase during the parasitism while showing typical effects on abomasal pH and serum gastrin. The rapidity of the responses to the transfer of adult worms and to their removal by treatment with anthelmintic supports a role for worm excretory/secretory (ES) products which possibly are not produced by the early larval stages. The similarity of responses to H. contortus and O. circumcincta infection suggests the involvement of the same or very similar ES products.

Abstract
The influence of gastrointestinal nematode infection on the kinetics of albendazole (ABZ) and its metabolites, albendazole sulphoxide (ABZSO) and sulphone (ABZSO2) in plasma and abomasal fluid was investigated in sheep. A micronised suspension of ABZ was administered intraruminally at 7.5 mg kg-1 to the following groups of sheep: (a) non-parasitised (control); (b) artificially infected with Haemonchus contortus; (c) naturally infected with Haemonchus contortus and other species of gastrointestinal nematodes. Plasma and abomasal fluid samples were obtained serially over 72 h post-treatment and they were analysed by HPLC for ABZ and its metabolites. The ABZ parent drug was not detected in plasma at any time post-treatment, however the metabolites ABZSO and ABZSO2 were recovered in the bloodstream. The active metabolite ABZSO was recovered in plasma between 0.5 and 48 (uninfected), 60 (H. contortus infected) or 72 h (naturally infected sheep) post-administration. The area under the plasma concentration vs time curve (AUC) values for ABZSO were higher in both artificially infected (64.0 micrograms h ml-1) and naturally infected (79.3 micrograms h ml-1) sheep as compared with non-infected animals (41.8 micrograms h ml-1). Peak plasma concentrations for ABZSO and ABZSO2 were higher in both artificially and naturally infected sheep than in non-parasitised animals. No changes in the half-lives and mean residence times for these metabolites were observed in infected sheep. ABZ and its metabolites were found in the abomasum between 0.5 and 48 (infected animals) or 72 h (uninfected) post-treatment. The availability (total AUCs) of ABZ and its metabolites in abomasal fluid were lower in H. contortus infected sheep than in the uninfected control animals. The increased abomasal pH induced by the presence of the H. contortus infection may reduce the plasma/abomasum pH gradient, which results in a decreased ionic-trapping of ABZ and its metabolites in the abomasum. Such a phenomenon correlates with: (a) the higher total AUC values obtained for ABZ metabolites in the bloodstream of the infected compared to the control sheep, (b) the lower concentration profiles of the ABZ parent drug and its metabolites found in the abomasal fluid of the infected animals.

Abstract
Within 12 h of reducing the daily intake of a 50:50 lucerne and wheaten hay ration from 800 to 400 g, there was an increase in digesta marker concentration indicating a reduction in the flow rate of digesta fluid and particulates through the abomasum of sheep. The efficacy of the recommended dose of oxfendazole (OFZ) was then tested against benzimidazole resistant Trichostrongylus colubriformis and Haemonchus contortus in sheep whose feed intake was halved 36 h before and after drug treatment. In animals fed the reduced ration there was a 60% reduction of T. colubriformis and 94% reduction of H. contortus compared with a 19% and 60% reduction respectively on the higher feed intake. It is therefore suggested that greater anthelmintic efficacy can be achieved in sheep by temporary feed reduction.

Abstract
The kinetic disposition of [14C]-oxfendazole (OFZ) and its metabolites, fenbendazole (FBZ) and fenbendazole sulphone (FBZ.SO2), in plasma and abomasal fluid were determined in Merino sheep and Angora goats before and during infection with Trichostrongylus colubriformis and Haemonchus contortus. The systemic availability (area under the plasma curve, AUC) of OFZ was significantly lower in goats (13.5 micrograms.h/ml) than in sheep (22.2 micrograms.h/ml) and was reduced with infection in goats (5.6 micrograms.h/ml) and sheep (15.1 micrograms.h/ml). The elimination of plasma [14C] was faster in goats than in sheep. The responses observed for [14C] were a reflection of the behaviour of OFZ. The concentration of OFZ and metabolites in abomasal fluid were similar in both species in the absence or presence of infection. However, as the mean flow rate of abomasal fluid was slower in goats (240 ml/h) than in sheep (488 ml/h), only 7% of the dose passed the pylorus in abomasal fluid of goats compared with 14% in sheep. The presence of gastrointestinal nematodes generally increased abomasal fluid flow rate but neither species nor infection had any effect on the rate or extent of [14C] excretion in urine or faeces. It is suggested that goats possess a faster hepatic metabolism than sheep resulting in more rapid elimination of OFZ.

Abstract
The distribution of granule-specific sheep mast cell proteinase (SMCP), was assayed by immunocytochemistry and quantified by immunoassay in sheep immune to Haemonchus contortus. Repeated infection with Haemonchus larvae over 10-12 weeks induced a pronounced mucosal mastocytosis, including intraepithelial globule leukocytes (GL), which, 7 days after ceasing this dosing regime, was associated with the inability of incoming larvae to establish within the abomasal mucosa. Loss of this resistance, due to the cessation of stimulation with Haemonchus larvae 84 days previously or to treatment of sheep with corticosteroid, was associated with a marked decline in mast cell density and concentrations of SMCP in abomasal mucosal tissues. Nevertheless, larvae also failed to establish in immune sheep rested from challenge 42 days previously and in which mast cell counts were not significantly different from those of control sheep. A small, but significant, release of SMCP was demonstrated in gastric mucus from immune sheep following larval challenge, whereas little or no SMCP was detected in mucus from naïve animals.

Abstract
A study was made to determine the effect of Haemonchus contortus parasitic infection in lambs on the clearance of several IV administered drugs. Clearance of sulfobromophthalein or sulfathiazole from the plasma of lambs was unaffected by infection with H contortus. Clearance of antipyrine was enhanced by the infection, and thiabendazole treatment did not alter this effect. Clearance of chloramphenicol (CAP), administered as the succinate ester (CAPS), was not changed by the infection, but it was increased after treatment with thiabendazole. Changes in the mean body residence time and initial plasma concentration of CAPS and CAP after treatment with thiabendazole indicate that hydrolysis of CAPS to CAP was reduced. High concentrations of CAPS apparently enhanced its own elimination directly rather than via the expected sequence involving hydrolysis, glucuronidation, and excretion of CAP-glucuronide. Enhanced clearance of antipyrine following infection of lambs with H contortus can be explained in at least 2 ways. First, it is possible that the lambs did not have mature amounts of hepatic drug metabolizing enzyme activity as reported by other investigators, which may be explained by breed differences or animal husbandry practices. Second, infection of lambs by H contortus may have triggered an inductive response in hepatic cytochrome P-450-mediated activities, which might result via a generalized enhancement in hepatic protein synthesis associated with the physiologic response to replace plasma proteins and other blood components lost through gastrointestinal hemorrhage caused by the active feeding of adult worms. Other phase-II reactions such as acetylation, glucuronidation, and glutathione-S-transferase apparently were not affected.

Abstract
Two groups of goats were dosed with 10,000 and 20,000 sheep-derived strain (SDS) larvae of Haemonchus contortus respectively. Over a period of 42 days goats dosed with 20,000 larvae lost more weight than those dosed with 10,000 larvae. Infected goats showed anaemia from about 2 weeks after infection as well as reduced levels of total serum proteins and albumins.

Abstract
1. A glutamate binding protein has been identified in membrane preparations from the free living nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans, and from the parasitic nematode, Haemonchus contortus. 2. This putative glutamate receptor was solubilized with 30 mM octyl-B-glucoside and partially purified by anion exchange and gel filtration chromatography. 3. An 80-fold purification with recovery of 75% of the glutamate binding activity was achieved. 4. The soluble C. elegans binding protein displayed a Kd for glutamate of 0.1 microM, in close agreement with the findings for the membrane associated binding protein. 5. Quisqualate was capable of displacing glutamate from the soluble C. elegans receptor, again in agreement with previous findings for the membrane bound receptor. 6. The fact that a parasitic nematode, Haemonchus contortus, also possesses this putative glutamate receptor, strengthens the case for using C. elegans as a model system for the study of parasitic nematode neuromuscular physiology.

Abstract
Mixed-sex groups of three-month-old Finn Dorset and Dorset Horn lambs were given complete diets containing either high or low protein. A trickle infection with Haemonchus contortus of 200 larvae, given three times a week, began one month later for a 17 week period. Erythrokinetic, metabolic, digestibility and balance studies were conducted with the male lambs during weeks 12 to 14 of the infection. Clinical signs of haemonchosis became evident only in the low protein diet group. The infection was characterised by severe macrocytic anaemia, hypoproteinaemia, hypoalbuminaemia, reduced survival, high egg counts and a significantly greater worm burden. In the high protein diet group many lambs developed resistance to further infection in contrast to the low protein group in which no resistance developed. Live-weight gain was not affected by infection in the high protein diet group but decreased in the lambs given the low protein diet compared with uninfected controls. However, infection did not appear adversely to affect the digestive efficiency, nitrogen retention or iron absorption in either dietary group although loss of appetite occurred in the low protein group. Examination of a sample joint from the carcases showed infection was associated with a marked reduction in muscle mass in lambs given the low protein diet relative to the control animals.

Abstract
1. An experiment was conducted to determine the effect of the abomasal parasite, Haemonchus contortus, on the pattern of digestion and nutrient utilization in Merino sheep. There were three groups of sheep: infected with H. contortus (300 larvae/kg live weight) (n 5), sham-infected by transferring blood from the jugular vein to the abomasum, and uninfected (control) sheep (n 9) which were fed daily rations equal to amounts consumed by 'paired' animals in the two other treatment groups. A diet containing (g/kg): lucerne (medicago sativa) chaff 490, oat chaff 480, ground limestone 10, urea 10, and sodium chloride 10, was given in equal amounts at 3-h intervals. 2. Continuous intrarumen infusions (8 d) of chromium and ytterbium were made in order to measure the flow of digesta through the rumen, duodenum and ileum with 15NH4Cl included in the infusate for the final 3 d. The loss of blood into the gastrointestinal tract was measured using 51Cr-labelled erythrocytes and the rate of irreversible loss of plasma urea was measured with reference to a single intravenous injection of [14C]urea. Samples of rumen fluid were taken for analysis of volatile fatty acid (VFA) concentrations. 3. The infected and sham-infected sheep developed severe anaemia during the period over which digestion and metabolism measurements were made (packed cell volume 0.118 (SE 0.0042) and 0.146 (SE 0.0073) respectively). The corresponding rates of blood loss into the gastrointestinal tracts were 253 (SE 23) and 145 (SE 17) ml/d. 4. The proportions of VFA in rumen fluid were altered (P less than 0.05) in the infected group with a decrease in the ratio, acetate: propionate (control 3.28, infected 2.58, standard error of difference (SED) 0.21). There was also an increase in rumen fluid outflow rate (P less than 0.01) from 4.05 litres/d in the control group to 5.53 litres/d in the infected group (SED 0.43). Water intake was higher (P less than 0.05) in the infected than in the control animals (2.25 and 5. There was a decrease (P less than 0.05) in apparent digestion of organic 5. There was a decrease (P less than 0.05) in apparent digestion of organic matter in the forestomachs of infected sheep (0.32 compared with 0.39 in the control, SED 0.02). There was also a decrease (P less than 0.05) in the apparent digestion of organic matter across the whole digestive tract (0.65 control, 0.61 infected, SED 0.013).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Two experiments were conducted to examine the influence of dietary protein on the pathophysiology of Haemonchus contortus in lambs of two breeds, namely Finn Dorset and Scottish Blackface. Erythrokinetic and metabolic studies using 51Cr-red cells, 59Fe-transferrin and 125I-albumin, and digestive efficiency and nitrogen balance measurements were conducted between four and six weeks after infection. Identical radioisotopic and nutritional studies were also conducted on pair-fed control lambs of both breeds. The results demonstrated that in normal control animals, there were no significant effects of diet or breed on any of the erythrokinetic, metabolic or nutritional parameters, with the possible exception of red cell survival which was considerably longer in the Finn Dorset lambs. However, in the infected animals diet and breed did influence those parameters. The severest effects were seen in the infected Finn Dorset lambs given the low protein diet. These animals had the highest level of abomasal blood loss and this was associated with low red cell volumes and high levels of both albumin catabolism and plasma iron turnover. These animals were also in negative nitrogen balance which was partly accounted for by a significantly greater urinary nitrogen loss compared with their pair-fed controls and partly due to the poorer digestibility of the crude protein fraction of the diet. In contrast, although the infected Scottish Blackface lambs had high levels of blood loss and associated pathophysiological changes, these did not differ between dietary treatments and were similar to the changes in the infected Finn Dorset lambs given the high protein diet.

Abstract
Oxfendazole (OFZ) was chemically modified to 1-n-butyl carbamoyl OFZ (C4-OFZ) in an attempt to improve the solubility of OFZ and enable it to be administered by injection. After intramuscular injection to sheep and cattle, C4-OFZ was metabolised to OFZ which resulted in higher plasma OFZ concentrations that persisted for a considerably longer period than those observed following administration of OFZ orally. The anthelmintic efficacy of injected C4-OFZ was tested, in sheep, against strains of Trichostrongylus colubriformis, Haemonchus contortus and Ostertagia circumcincta, which were highly resistant to benzimidazoles. In all cases, the C4-OFZ treatment showed a significant improvement in efficacy over the conventional oral OFZ drench.

Abstract
Pepsinogen, sodium, potassium and chloride concentrations in blood, and pepsin, pH and ionic concentrations in abomasal contents were measured in 4 lambs each fitted with a permanent abomasal cannula infected with 25 000 H. contortus larvae at intervals of 39 days. No significant change in blood sodium, potassium and chloride concentrations occurred after infections while the pepsinogen level increased rapidly to reaching a maximum (600% of control) 7-8 days after infection. This increase was associated with a rise in abomasal pepsin secretion, the pepsin concentration in the contents rising from 7210 to 9220 mU of tyrosine during the same period. This period was characterized by a significant (P less than 0.01) increase in abomasal pH and Na+ concentration whereas the K+ and Cl- concentrations were significantly (P less than 0.01) reduced. The second infection was associated with similar abomasal ionic changes but of shorter duration. It is likely that the second infection transiently stimulated the egg-aying of the adult worms of the first infection. Twenty one days after the re-infection the number of adult worms remaining was very low (139 +/- 41) and is considered as an effect of the "self-cure" phenomenon.
