The alarming development of triple resistant Parascaris spp. is an increasing threat to foal health and the equine industry, due to the risk of increasing veterinary costs and loss of foals. A continued development of triple resistant roundworms in Sweden would be devastating for foals and breeders. It is therefore of uttermost importance to gain more knowledge about anthelmintic resistance and to develop tests to detect resistant parasites. The aims of this project are to 1) evaluate the spread of resistance to the substance fenbendazole (Axilur®) in foals in Sweden 2) identify markers for detection of resistance and development of a method for rapid detection of resistant parasites 3) develop an in vitro method for study of drug resistance and screening of new drug candidates. The results from this project will be used to monitor further development of resistance and be included in new sustainable parasitic control guidelines.
Spolmaskens utveckling av resistens mot alla tillgängliga avmaskningsmedel är ett växande hot mot föls hälsa, men även ett ekonomiskt problem för hästuppfödare pga. risken för ökade veterinärkostnader och förlust av föl. En fortsatt utbredning av trippelresistenta spolmaskar i Sverige skulle vara förödande för föl och hästuppfödare. Det är därför av största vikt att få mer kunskap om läkemedelsresistens samt att ta fram tester för detektion av resistenta parasiter. Syftet med detta projekt är att 1) utvärdera hur utbredd resistens mot substansen fenbendazol (Axilur®) är i Sverige 2) identifiera markörer och utveckla en metod för detektion av resistens som kan användas i parasitkontrollprogram 3) utveckla en in vitro-metod för vidare studier av resistens och screening av nya läkemedel. Resultaten från projektet kommer att användas för fortsatt övervakning av resistensläget och kommer att ligga till grund för långsiktigt hållbara parasitkontrollrutiner.

Peat use in horticulture is increasingly discussed due to its climate-relevance and the disturbance of mires. At the
same time, peat is the most important, natural horticultural growing media constituent and only a few other organic
constituents have gained acceptance in horticulture, but cannot …

The aim of the project is to study effects of LED-light on milk production and activity in dairy cows. The main hypotheses are that LED light allows maintained cow activity and milk production with less energy used for illumination, and that LED-light makes it possible to apply a dark period during …

During recent decades the area with brushwood has increased in the Swedish rural landscape. A study has shown that the annual harvest of brushwood for fuel purposes could amount to about 6 TWh. Some advantages with the utilization of brushwood as fuel are that the growth areas do not compete with …
