  • Title: [Livestock manure as a vector for parasites--a report of experiences].
    Author: Hiepe T, Buchwalder R.
    Journal: Dtsch Tierarztl Wochenschr; 1991 Jul; 98(7):268-72. PubMed ID: 1914947.
    Abstract:
    Analysing the results of own investigations and informations in literature a review is given about the role of manure specially in stables of high-intensity cattle and pig production as a vector for exogenic parasite stages. In the course of investigations--in most cases simulating practice conditions--so-called indicator germs were used as test material. In cattle stables manure is significant as a vector for Eimeria species, Cryptosporidium parvum, Sarcocystis species, Taenia saginata and Fasciola hepatica. In pig stables manure must be classified as a reservoir of infections with Toxoplasma gondii, Sarcocystis species and Ascaris suum; moreover it represents a favourable culturing medium for stable flies. Possibilities to overcome the problems are discussed under parasitological field of view.
