Eugene T. Lyons
Gene (Eugene) T. Lyons
B. 1931,son of William & Mary Lyons, Yankton, SD
Eugene (Gene) T. Lyons, PhD, is a professor of veterinary science at the Gluck Equine Research Center, Department of Veterinary Science, University of Kentucky, Lexington. Lyons was inducted in the Equine Research Hall of Fame, University of Kentucky, September, 2012.
As a parisitologist for over 5o years, his major reseach interest is on internal parasites of horses, sheep, and cattle. Also, wildlife, especially pinnipeds, internal parasites have been and are being studied. The major emphasis is on transmission, life cycles, treatment and prevalence. Gene continues his maritime research on infections of adult hookworms in northern fur seal on St. Paul's Island, Alaska and the California sea lion on San Miguel Island, California. He served in the U.S. Coast Guard. Click Photo>
Eugene T. Lyons, PhDGluck Equine Research Center, Department of Veterinary Science |
Research in the Classical Parasitology section of the Department of Veterinary Science, University of Kentucky, continues the direction started over 50 years ago. That is, to do research on the control and transmission on internal parasites of domestic animals - especially horses. Virtually all drugs on the market for removing nematodes, tapeworms, and insects (bots) were tested here as independent evaluators of the efficacy of these compounds on internal parasites of horses. Our research, as pioneers of discovery of drug resistant parasites in horses (and sheep), has been orientated towards multi-year study of the equine small strongyles which are resistant to most of the commercially available parasiticides. Transmission of equine parasites also is an important aspect of our research. The purposes of these studies are to follow the changes of prevalence due to use of parasiticides, to determine the treatment regimen necessary to c ontrol parasites, and to determine whether the compounds are as efficacious as they were when they first came on the market. |

Dr. Eugene T. Lyons
inducted into
Equine Research Hall of Fame
September, 2012
The University of Kentucky Gluck Equine Research Foundation inducted Eugene T, Lyons into the UK Equine Research Hall of Fame Sept. 23, 2012 at Keeneland Race Course along with George Allen, a posthumous inductee formerly of UK’s Gluck Equine Research Center and Stephanie Valberg, University of Minnesota.
Eugene T. Lyons, originally from Yankton, South Dakota, joined the faculty in the UK Department of Veterinary Science in 1963. In his more than 45-year career, Lyons’ work continues to attract interest in the field of equine helminth infections. He was the first to demonstrate the transmission of helminth parasites in milk of mother seals to their offspring; this observation was later extended to a number of equine helminth infections and altered current thinking on the epidemiology of different endoparasitic diseases of the horse.
Lyons is also recognized for the importance of his contributions to the field of acquired resistance of small roundworm infections in the horse to various anthelmintic drugs. More>
