Abstract
BackgroundDifferent areas of sheep infected with different types of parasites, all will cause serious harm to the local sheep, and the widespread use and repeated use of anthelmintics have produced different degrees of anthelmintic resistance (AR) in various regions. We re-investigated the infection of common parasites and AR of Gastrointestinal Nematodes (GINs) in sheep in Horqin Right Wing Front Banner, and first investigated the common parasite types and AR of GINs in sheep at other four areas in Hinggan league (city), China.ResultsA total of 1770 fecal samples were collected from 1 prefecture-level city and 4 counties in Hinggan league, in which the infection rate of Coccidia ranged from 83.3% to 96.06%, that of Ascaris ovis ranged from 10.17% to 15.19%, that of Moniezia benedeni ranged from 0.6% to 1%, that of Moniezia expansa ranged from 0.33% to 8.15%. The infection rate of GINs was 100%, and Haemonchus contortus was still the dominant species. The AR results showed that only the closantel in Horqin Right Wing Middle Banner was low resiatant, and the other three regions had been resistant. Levamisole also occurred AR in the other four regions, the widely used ivermectin and albendazole had produced serious AR in five areas. The research shows that GINs are becoming more and more resistant to various anthelmintics, which has made the problem worse.ConclusionsUnderstanding the dynamic changes of parasite infections and the development trend of AR in sheep in the region in this paper, the development trend seems to be more serious than imagined. Therefore only by deeply understanding the parasitic infections of sheep in this land can more reasonable medication guidance be carried out. It is expected to provide new ideas formore innovative, scientific and sustainable methods of preventing and controlling parasites.
