OverviewAI-generated summary
L. Jones' research focuses on the efficacy of antiparasitic agents in livestock and poultry. This work includes studies on the control of helminths in cattle and poultry, evaluating the effectiveness of various anthelmintic drugs such as ivermectin, moxidectin, albendazole, and eprinomectin. Investigations have involved naturally infected animals, employing fecal egg count reduction tests to assess drug performance.
Publications by Jones have examined benzimidazole efficacies against specific poultry nematodes like Ascaridia dissimilis, Ascaridia galli, and Heterakis gallinarum. In cattle, research has addressed the control of nematodiasis in weaned calves and stocker cattle, as well as feedlot heifers. The studies also consider season-long effectiveness and the implications of drug resistance, as indicated by the publication "Facts and fiction regarding anthelmintic efficacies in cattle."
Jones has received federal funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) as a Co-PI for a workshop focused on resilient phosphorus supply chains for national security, totaling $144,600. This grant indicates a broader interest in supply chain resilience beyond direct animal health research.
