Gut worm infections are a significant burden on grazing livestock and humans and result in considerable expenditure on animal/ human health products. The Faecal egg count is the established method for estimating the severity of parasitic worm infection in livestock and humans. Existing methods for diagnosing the presence of worm infections are widely cons...

The detection and hence targeted control of parasitic worms in grazing livestock, domestic pets and humans in developing countries is of increasing worldwide interest as anthelmintic drug resistance and hence ineffectiveness takes hold. This proposal aims to prototype an automated, portable digital analyser for cytological samples which, in conjunction wi...

Parasitic worms pose a major challenge to the health and productivity of grazing livestock, and are controlled by frequent adminstration of anthelmintic drugs. This favours the development of drug resistance. Increasingly, targeted approaches to deworming are required, based on levels of infection and known drug efficacy. The most flexible and useful test...
