Evolution of Ivermectin Resistance in the Nematode Model Caenorhabditis elegans: Critical Influence of Population Size and Altered Emodepside Efficacy

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The emergence and spread of anthelmintic resistance represent a major challenge for treating parasitic nematodes, threatening mass‐drug administration control programs in humans and zoonotic hosts. Currently, experimental evidence to understand the influence of management (e.g., treatment dose and frequency) and parasite‐associated factors (e ...

The Relationship Between Immunopathology and Body Condition of Mixed‐Age Ewes

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.
Ill thrift in ewes, characterised by less than desirable body condition, is a multifactorial condition often attributed to nutritional deficits, though immunopathological factors may also play a role. This study investigated associations between body condition scores (BCS) and immunopathological states in 120 mixed‐age ewes grazing pasture over 4 ...
