Targeted pre-partum strategies to suppress Toxocara vitulorum hypobiotic larvae: Reducing transmission to calves and genotypic insights into buffalo infections

202510 citationsOpen accessCairo University

Abstract

A single dose of fenbendazole administered 6 dbp effectively interrupted the <i>T. vitulorum</i> transmission cycle, reducing larval presence in colostrum and milk and minimizing worm burdens in buffaloes and calves. Morphological and molecular analyses highlighted the efficacy of <i>COX-1</i> gene markers in species identification and phylogenetic studies. This strategic intervention represents a practical approach to controlling <i>T. vitulorum</i> infections, improving herd health, and reducing environmental contamination.
