Evaluation of the in vitro susceptibility of various filarial nematodes to emodepside

International Journal for Parasitology: Drugs and Drug Resistance, 2021
Filariae are vector-borne nematodes responsible for an enormous burden of disease. Human lymphatic filariasis, caused by Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi, and Brugia timori, and onchocerciasis (caused by Onchocerca volvulus) are neglected parasitic ...

Australian guidelines for equine internal parasite management

Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 103, Issue 4, Page 151-158, April 2025.
Over the past few decades, the emergence of resistance amongst intestinal parasites of horses to all available anthelmintic classes has emphasised the need for a paradigm shift in parasite control approaches within the Australian equine industry. Findings of a recent Australia‐wide research project have provided new insights into intestinal parasites ...

Ivermectin as a promising therapeutic option for onchocerciasis‐associated epilepsy

Epilepsia Open, Volume 10, Issue 1, Page 361-367, February 2025.
Abstract Onchocerciasis, commonly known as river blindness, is a neglected tropical disease caused by the parasite Onchocerca volvulus. It can lead to blindness and visual impairment. Studies have also demonstrated a link between onchocerciasis and epilepsy, with there being a correlation between onchocerciasis endemicity and epilepsy prevalence ...

Geographic Variation in the Prevalence of Candidatus Neoehrlichia procyonis in Raccoons (Procyon lotor) in the United States and Canada

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 1, February 2025.
A total of 167/394 (42.4%) raccoons were positive for Candidatus Neoehrlichia procyonis. Spatial variation was noted with higher prevalences in the Southeast region of the United States and in California. Ca. N. procyonis is widespread in raccoon populations, but the spatial variation in prevalence may be related to vector distribution or another ...

Praziquantel in clonorchiasis and opisthorchiasis [PDF]

, 1981
A single stool examination revealed pathogenic intestinal parasites in 462 (58%) of 796 vietnamese and cambodian refugees. 56 (7.0%) were infected with Clonorchis sinensis and/or Opisthorchis viverrini. These patients received Praziquantel in a dosage of
