Evaluation of the nemabiome approach for the study of equine strongylid communities

This study evaluates the nemabiome approach for equine strongylid species identification using ITS-2 and a new COI barcode, finding COI less effective due to amplification biases and lower sensitivity.

The first horse gut microbiome gene catalog reveals that rare microbiome ensures better cardiovascular fitness in endurance horses

The paper builds the first equine gut microbiome gene catalog and links rare microbiome species to improved cardiovascular fitness in endurance horses.

Species turnover between age groups of horses and positive network of co-occurrences define the structure of horse strongylid communities: a meta-analysis

This study analyzes horse strongylid communities using a meta-analysis to identify factors shaping their diversity and structure, finding that species turnover between age groups and positive co-occurrence networks are key.

Strongyle-resistant sheep express their potential across environments and leave limited scope for parasite plasticity

The paper breeds sheep resistant to parasites and finds that resistance remains stable across environments but is affected by specific parasite infections.

Compilation of 29-year postmortem examinations identifies major shifts in equine parasite prevalence from 2000 onwards

The paper analyzes 29 years of postmortem data to show a shift in equine parasite prevalence from 2000, with increased Parascaris spp. and decreased S. vulgaris and tapeworms.

Lupin (Lupinus sp.) seeds exert anthelmintic activity associated with their alkaloid content

This study shows lupin seeds inhibit parasitic nematodes through alkaloids, offering a potential alternative to combat drug-resistant parasites in ruminants.

Equine strongyle communities are constrained by horse sex and species dipersal-fecundity trade-off

This study examines strongyle communities in horses, finding that diversity is shaped by sex and a dispersal-fecundity trade-off among species.

Risk factor analysis of equine strongyle resistance to anthelmintics

This study identifies risk factors for anthelmintic resistance in equine strongyles using data from 688 horses, showing that FEC-based treatment and biosecurity measures reduce resistance risk.
