Development of resistance to anthelmintics is a threat to equine welfare. As with antibiotics, restrictive use with anthelmintics in order to retain the effect is essential. Current recommendation for deworming is targeted selective treatment to individuals shedding a certain amount of parasite eggs. Clinic veterinarians and pathologists have in recent years observed an increase in parasite-related injuries. In parallel, data from the SVA indicate an increase in the frequency of the large bloodworm. The aim of this Norwegian-Swedish collaboration is to investigate whether selective deworming can be linked to an increase in the prevalence of the parasite and parasite-related damages, and to develop a PCR-based test for rapid diagnostic and lastly to validate the effect of grazing hygienic measures as a complement to deworming. It is vital for the horse industry to apply sustainable practices for parasite control in order to minimize the negative health impact of parasitic infections.
Resistensutveckling mot avmaskningsmedel är ett hot mot hästars hälsa. I likhet med antibiotika är det nödvändigt att vara restriktiv med avmaskningsmedel för att kunna bevara effekten. Selektiv avmaskning rekommenderas därför sedan ungefär tio år men klinikveterinärer och patologer har observerat en ökning av parasitrelaterade skador under de senaste åren. Data från SVA indikerar samtidigt en ökad förekomst av stor blodmask. Syftet med det här norsk-svenska projektet är dels att utveckla diagnostiken av hästens stora och små blodmaskar och dels undersöka om selektiv avmaskning kan kopplas till en ökad parasitförekomst och parasitrelaterade skador. För första gången i Skandinavien kommer vi även att mäta effekten av beteshygieniska åtgärder som komplement till selektiv avmaskning. Det är avgörande för framtiden att man inom hästnäringen tillämpar långsiktigt hållbara rutiner för parasitkontroll utan att det samtidigt leder till ökade parasitskador.
