Abstract

Gastrointestinal (GI) parasitism in animals is considered as one of the major problems in India causing recurring economic losses to livestock production system owing to morbidity and mortality. But data pertaining to epidemiology of GI nematodes in goats is meager from Malwa region of Madhya Pradesh. Therefore, the present investigation was carried out to study the incidence of GI nematodes in goats in and around Mhow and accordingly a total of 900 faecal samples of goats were collected from Mhow and its adjoining areas and faecal sample examination revealed the incidence of strongyle, Strongyloides papillosus, Trichuris spp. and mixed infection from the study area. Significantly higher infection of GI nematodes was evidenced in the monsoon season (50.67%) when compared with summer (41.33%) and winter (38.33%) seasons. Significantly higher infection rate was documented in >1 year-old-goats (50.43%) than <1 year-old-goats (19.31%). Non-significantly higher infection was noted in females (46.04%) than their male counterparts (39.50%).

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
