Advancing pharmacometrics in Africa—Transition from capacity development toward job creation

CPT: Pharmacometrics &Systems Pharmacology, Volume 14, Issue 3, Page 407-419, March 2025.
Abstract Trained pharmacometricians remain scarce in Africa due to limited training opportunities, lack of a pharmaceutical product development ecosystem, and emigration to high‐income countries. The Applied Pharmacometrics Training (APT) fellowship program was established to address these gaps and specifically foster job creation for talent retention.

Taxon, Arboreality, Sex, and Season—Factors Influencing Gastrointestinal Parasite Occurrence in Zoo‐Housed Non‐Human Primates

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The emergence of anthelminthic resistance is a well‐documented phenomenon in livestock and companion animals. Given the scarcity of new antiparasitic drugs, the implementation of effective, holistic anthelminthic control strategies is critical to preserving the efficacy of existing treatments.

Identification of a novel ß-adrenergic octopamine receptor-like gene (ßAOR-like) and increased ATP-binding cassette B10 (ABCB10) expression in a Rhipicephalus microplus cell line derived from acaricide-resistant ticks [PDF]

, 2016
Background: The cattle tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus is an economically important parasite of livestock. Effective control of ticks using acaricides is threatened by the emergence of resistance to many existing compounds. Several continuous R.
