Resistance against antiparasitic drugs is now an increasing problem. Despite a lot of effortd put on preventive measures, such as egg counting and selective treatments, there is still a need for alternative and sustainable methods that do not result in rapid development of drug resistance. The proposed project therefore aims to investigate vaccination as an alternative to antihelminthic treatment of the horse. Previous established methodology, within a research project on "immunopathological aspects of equine inflammatory bowel disease" will be useed and further developed in order to construct a vaccine against Strongylus vulgaris in particular. The applicability of a modern adjuvant "G3", in combination with irradiated larval antigen, will be evaluated and provide a basis for future vaccine trials in the horse. The adjuvant is well tolerated in the horse and can induce a cell-mediated immunity that is important for development of long-lasting and protective immunity.
Ökad resistens mot avmaskningsmedel är idag ett växande problem. Trots mycket fokus på förebyggande åtgärder, såsom träckprovstagning och selektiv avmaskning, finns det fortfarande ett stort behov av alternativa, hållbara metoder som inte leder till resistensutveckling. Det sökta projektet syftar därför till att undersöka vaccination mot inälvsparasiter som en profylaktisk åtgärd. Projektet ämnar att använda och utveckla tidigare etablerad metodik inom studier av "inflammationsimmunologi" i tarm från häst för att konstruera vaccin mot framförallt hästens stora blodmask. Användbarheten av ett modernt adjuvans, "G3", i kombination med parasitlarver som inaktiverats genom strålning, kommer att utvärderas och ge grund för framtida vaccinförsök i häst. Vi vet redan att G3-adjuvanset är väl tolererat i häst och preliminära resultat ger indikationer på att G3 kan inducera en cell-medierad immunitet vilket är väsentligt för att erhålla långvarig skyddande immunitet i mag / tarmkanalen.

A primary reason for unhealthy legs and claws are unsuitable floor properties in dairy houses,
which may result in slippery floors and slip injuries to cows and mastitis.
The hygiene of a floor surface and floor properties affect the cow claw/floor interaction and gait.
The aim is to determine an …

Knowledge of disease development in wheat is a prerequisite for good advice on economically and environmentally
adapted control strategies. This project is based on knowledge from a previous SLF project about molecular detection
and spore traps, which showed that the different spore traps catch …

We are facing a protein shift in which a portion of the animal based protein in our diet needs to be replaced by plant proteins to reduce the climate impact from the food sector. Many agricultural by-streams contain high value proteins not used to their full potential. We aim to recover proteins …

Disease and production disturbances in a herd are often silent, and may cause major losses if they remain undetected. Continuous analysis and monitoring of data already recorded at the farm level can improve profitability. This project will develop methods for monitoring trends in production and …

The purpose of the project is to analyse stable cultures in cyberspace in Sweden and Norway. In recent years, questions about the welfare of horses have been debated in social media and norms for horse-keeping are created on Internet. In this project, these norms are conceptualised as stable …

Correct assessment of hind limb lameness is a challenge, also for most experienced vets. This causes incorrect diagnoses and faulty treatment interventions which lead to unnecessary suffering for the horses and an unnecessary financial burden for owners and insurance companies. The aim of this …

Icelandic horses are increasingly popular in Sweden and Norway. Their strength lies in their unique gaits, however, in lame horses this trait becomes a weakness. Evaluating not only lameness but also the leg of origin for lameness in any gait other than trot is exceptionally challenging. Today, we …

Insect bite hypersensitivity (IBH) associated with Culicoides biting midges is the most common allergic skin disease in
horses, seriously reducing welfare of affected horses. The main symptom is severe pruritus, with risk of self-infected
open wounds. The choice for treatment and prevention of this …
