Doenças parasitárias em ruminantes no semi-árido e alternativas para o controle das parasitoses gastrintestinais em ovinos e caprinos.

Abstract

This paper reviews some points to be considered for the control of gastrointestinal parasites of sheep and goats, the epidemiology of this parasitic disease in the Brazilian semiarid, and the occurrence of anti-helmintic resistance in the region. Considering the widespread use of preventive treatments during the dry season, new alternatives for the control of gastrointestinal parasites are recommended, taking into account the parasite integrated control system.
