The influence of host immunity on the epidemiology of trichostrongyle infections in cattle

J Armour. Vet Parasitol. .

Abstract

The acquisition of immunity to the important trichostrongyles of cattle is reviewed and the subsequent effect on the epidemiology of trichostrongylosis is discussed. Examples of factors which can delay or impair the development of immunity to these nematode infections are presented. These include the interactions with anthelmintic prophylactic programmes, nutrition, intercurrent infections, pregnancy and lactation.
