Gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) parasites pose a significant economic burden particularly in small ruminant production systems. Anthelmintic resistance is a serious concern to the effective control of GIN parasites and has fuelled the focus to design and promote sustainable control of practices of parasite control. Many facets of sustainable GIN parasite control programs rely on the ability to diagnose infection both qualitatively and quantitatively. Diagnostics are required to determine anthelmintic efficacies, for targeted treatment programs and selection of animals for parasite resistant breeding. This review describes much of the research investigated to date to improve the current diagnostic for the above practices which is based on counting the number of parasite eggs in faeces.
胃肠道线虫 (GIN) 寄生虫对小反刍动物生产系统造成了重大的经济负担。驱虫剂耐药性是有效控制 GIN 寄生虫的严重问题，这促使人们关注设计和促进寄生虫控制的可持续性控制实践。可持续 GIN 寄生虫控制计划的许多方面都依赖于定性和定量诊断感染的能力。诊断是确定驱虫效果、靶向治疗计划以及选择具有寄生虫抗性的动物进行繁殖所必需的。本综述描述了迄今为止为改进目前基于粪便中寄生虫卵计数的上述实践的诊断方法而进行的大部分研究。
