A roundworm that plagues sheep grazing irrigated pastures has been found to be resistant to common classes of dewormers, according to a recently published report online in the Sheep & Goat Research Journal.
University of Wyoming Extension sheep specialist Whit Stewart says research by him and scientists at Montana State University and the University of Georgia that began in 2017 is a baseline resistance study for the warm season barber pole worm (
Haemonchus contortus) and associated deworming management practices across sheep flocks in the region.
The worm has a stripe that winds around it like a barber’s pole.
“To our knowledge, it is the first published estimate of barber pole worm resistance in the Intermountain West,” Stewart says. “We basically found that we are seeing the barber pole worm being resistant to our common classes of dewormers on flocks grazing irrigated acres in the region.”

A University of Wyoming scientist whose work springs from the needs of Wyoming forage producers and another whose focus is increasing sheep producer profitability have received outstanding research awards from UW’s Wyoming Agricultural Experiment Station (WAES).
Anowar Islam, a professor in the Department of Plant Sciences, received the Outstanding Research Award. Whit Stewart, an assistant professor in the Department of Animal Science, received the Early Career Research Award.
WAES is the research branch of the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources.
Islam joined UW in 2008 as an assistant professor and has received over $3.8 million in research funding.
“Anowar Islam has evaluated the most critical needs of Wyoming forage producers and has responded to those needs with an aggressive research program that has had a significant impact on county extension educators and producers and, certainly, the scientific community,” wrote Mark Marsalis, a profess

accountant candidates. i don t know much about them. i served with mccabe and he knows what s going on in the fbi and where to get support from, i think it s tough to month within the bureau up to that top spot. does mccabe have a relationship with mueller. i would think so he s been in washington long enough. stewart do you know these potential candidates. not those. there were other individuals that were on the short list that i had the privilege, one of the candidates who has been reported mike anderson the sac in chicago i had the pleasure of going through the fbi candidate with who my understanding was on the short list and very dear and close friend who is very
memos and tapes of interactions do you think the special council will get his hands on white tapes if they exist. i would hope so. if they do exist than the white house will have to respond. i want to talk about the fbi rank and file, so much is made of them and how they re dealing with this and will their own investigation continue alongside this one or not. will it stewart? keep in mind robert mueller is at the helm here so he has complete autonomy to decide who he will utilize. my guess is he is going to sit with the agents that conduct the investigation. he s going to be brought up-to-date very, very quickly and my guess is he will rely on continuing to utilize those individuals to continue forward. i would not be surprised as
