Veterinary parasitology is the study of parasites that infect domestic and wild animals, encompassing their biology, diagnosis, treatment, and control. Research published in this journal addresses practical challenges in managing parasitic infections across livestock species in diverse geographic settings. Studies have examined gastrointestinal parasite prevalence in cattle breeds including Zebu and N'dama on Nigerian ranches, providing baseline data on infection patterns in tropical production systems. Investigations into treatment options include evaluating plant-derived compounds for anthelmintic activity against nematode infections and assessing commercial neem-based products against coccidial parasites in poultry. Additional work has documented parasitological findings from slaughterhouse examinations of sheep, goats, and cattle, contributing to surveillance efforts. This research matters because parasitic infections impose significant economic burdens on livestock industries through reduced productivity, increased mortality, and treatment costs, while also raising concerns about drug resistance and food safety. Understanding parasite epidemiology in different breeds and environments, along with exploring alternative treatment strategies beyond conventional anthelmintics, supports evidence-based approaches to parasite control in veterinary medicine and animal agriculture.
