The spread, seasonal and age-specific trends of cryptosporidiosis was studied on 395 spontaneously infected animals of five age groups. The first group was formed of calves up to 10 days of age, the second group of calves aged from 11 days to 2 months, the third group of calves from 2 to 4 months, the fourth group of calves from 4 to 6 months of age, and the fifth group of young animals from 6 months up to 1 year. To assess the efficacy of various drugs against cryptosporidiosis in calves, 5 groups of infected animals (4 experimental and 1 control), 10 animals each, were formed according to the principle of analogous pairs. The infection rate in cattle was determined by generally accepted coprological flotation methods, as well as by native smears with further staining according to Ziehl-Nielsen. We also considered clinical signs of cryptosporidiosis (diarrhea, dehydration).Results and discussion. We established the widespread occurrence of cryptosporidiosis in cattle on the farms of the Igrinsky, Uvinsky, Zavyalovsky Districts of the Udmurt Republic. The infection rate ranged from 20.25 to 80.0%. The largest percentage of infected calves was observed in the winter-spring period which was associated with the synchronization of the reproductive cycles of cows and a decrease in the resistance of the animal organism. Toltarox 5% and Galokur drugs in work environments showed 100% extense-effectiveness. It is not recommended to apply Amprolium 25% on these farms due to the low efficacy and the development of parasite resistance to this drug.","PeriodicalId":34353,"journal":{"name":"Rossiiskii parazitologicheskii zhurnal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45764197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A parasitological examination of the poultry farm found D. gallinae in one of the poultry buildings. Given positive results of the drug efficacy against the poultry red mite, we analyzed the morpho-physiological and physiological and biochemical parameters of the hen’s blood before and 10 and 20 days after the treatments. Changes in the ethological status of birds were recorded. We used 0.005% aqueous emulsion of \"5% D-cyphenothrin emulsion\" for treatment. To obtain it, the drug was diluted with water at a ratio of 1:1000 immediately before use.Results and discussion. After double treatment with \"5% D-cyphenotrine emulsion\" of the shop with hens from the test group, no live poultry red mite was found. Within 20 days after the disease reduction, representatives of this group showed high concentrations of cortisol which were 2.3–2.4 times (p < 0.001) higher than those of healthy hens. This indicates that the stress state of hens still remains after the parasitizing of D. gallinae. In addition, the recovery process takes a long time and with great stress for all systems of their body. This is also confirmed by a high level of lipid peroxidation. At the same time, high intensity of gluconeogenesis and, as a result, deterioration of lipid and protein metabolism were recorded in the hens in question. The positive results indicate an increasing need for additional energy expenditures which are paramount for the effective and well-timed implementation of adaptation mechanisms. It should be noted here that the values of all the above-mentioned indicators tend to normalize by the end of the study period. The changes noted in the blood of birds indicate the restoration of a number of body systems. The poultry red mite as an emergency factor affects the morphophysiology of the blood, in particular, the level of white blood cells, which is restored by the 10th day after deacarization, which triggers regenerative and reparative processes. There were also changes in the number of cells of the immune system, an increase in hemoglobin concentration to control values and optimization of behavior in representatives of the test group which are largely related to the normalized physiological activity of the thyroid gland after the poultry building deacarization. We found a partial recovery of the hen’s body systems after the poultry building deacarization with the drug \"5% D-cyphenotrine emulsion\", which is due to the long-term parasitizing of D. gallinae, a stressor of extreme strength.","PeriodicalId":34353,"journal":{"name":"Rossiiskii parazitologicheskii zhurnal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43982240","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In 2000–2010, 9 series of experiments were carried out in the conditions of the plain belt in Dagestan. The first, second, and third series of experiments were intended to find out the duration of the tick searching for a place to fix on the animal, the duration of the skin incised and the proboscis inserted into the wound, and the engorgement duration; and the fourth series was intended to clarify the tick wintering on the animal. Such experiments were performed on two-year-old calf bulls on the Educational and Experimental Farm of the Dagestan State Agrarian University with Boophilus annulatus, Rhipicephalus bursa, Hyalomma detritum, H. scupense, and H. anatolicum in 2000. Five hungry adult female ticks were placed onto all 5 calf bulls in the middle third of the neck. We conducted experiments on searching for a place for egg-laying, egg-laying duration in the environment, number of eggs in a clutch, duration of the larva formed and the hatching rate, distance of the larvae from the hatching place, and larvae death rate in five specially equipped sites of pastures of 1 m2 .

Ixodid ticks perform their natural physiological functions associated with feeding and reproduction with significant time fluctuations.

We used Kabiosh index (K) to assess the species diversity of parasites. Results and discussion. The parasitological analysis results of percoids and cyprinids from the reservoirs of the Moscow Canal are presented. 34 parasite species were found in fish, which belong to nine taxonomic groups: Microsporidia, Myxosporea, Monogenea, Cestoda, Trematoda, Nematoda, Acanthocephala, Hirudinea, Crustacea. The largest number of species belongs to trematodes, the rest, taxa (mixo- and microsporidia, cestodes, nematodes, acanthocephalans, leeches and parasitic crustaceans), are represented singly. We calculated the species diversity ratio (R) of fish parasites in the reservoirs, which ranged from 0.335 to 0.575, which indicates the fauna similarity from 50 to 75%. The greatest similarity in the parasite fauna was found in the roach (R = 0.168–0.447), the least in the European perch (R = 0.447–1.0).
