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.

Spread of barnyard grass, growing in southern Sweden has accelerated during the last decade and is rapidly moving northwards. No herbicide-resistant populations have been reported from Sweden thus far, but it is only a matter of time before barnyard grass will develop herbicide resistance in …

Cereal production is limited by many different factors. Leaf diseases are often well known, while diseases on roots are more difficult to identify. Root diseases are often caused by oomycetes, fungus-like microorganisms that live for years in soil and on old root debris, parasitizing the roots of …

A sustainable use of phosphorus fertilizers has engaged a large number of researchers, especially how to measure
the soil content of available phosphorus. However, the development of results to useful methods for agriculture has
not been a priority. The recommendations are based on extraction with …

The carbon footprint for ruminants is high compared to other food products of animal origin but grazing animals such
as beef and lamb have other positive effects on the environment such as increased biodiversity and carbon
sequestration. Beef- and lamb producers need clear guidelines on how to …

Young horses can develop cervical vertebral stenotic myelopathy and ataxia, known as "wobbler syndrome" and associated with loss of breeding value, reduced athletic potential and euthanasia. Some wobblers have osteochondrosis of their vertebral facet joints, but it is now known how this relates to …
