C. P aCan Haemonchus placei-primary infected naïve lambs withstand Haemonchus contortus infections?h[electronic resource] c2017 aAn experiment was conducted with the objective of evaluating whether a 5000 L3 larvae Haemonchus placei primary infection, a less pathogenic parasite species for sheep, could attenuate highly pathogenic Haemonchus contortus infections in lambs. Thirty nine 6-month-old lambs were divided in three primary-infection groups: (HcPI) H. contortus-primary infected lambs, (HpPI) H. placei-primary infected lambs, and (CTRL) non-infected control lambs. Later, these same individuals, then aged 10-month old, were cross challenged with Haemonchus parasite species, creating four groups: HcPI challenged with H. placei (HcPI-HpCH), HpPI challenged with H. contortus (HpPI-HcCH), HcPI challenged with H. contortus (HcPI-HcCH), and CTRL. After a 60-day challenge peri- od, all animals were necropsied for gastrointestinal worm counts... aCordeiro aHaemonchus contortus aInfecção aNematóide aOvino1 aCASTRO, L. L. D. de1 aBENAVIDES, M.
