Animal health and immunology

The Brazilian livestock is constantly developing; however, it still faces big issues with parasites, lowering cattle performance and consequently causing economic loss. Strongylides are parasites commonly observed in the gastrointestinal tract of these animals and cause damage such as growth retardation and decreased performance, and this becomes even more evident when we refer to small ruminants. Knowing the importance of these gastrointestinal parasites, this review aims to discuss aspects related to strongyloid parasites in ruminants as well as control strategies.
