Understanding Anthelmintics: Drug Therapy for Parasitic Worm Infections in Veterinary Medicine

Anthelmintics are essential drugs to combat parasitic worm infections in animals. They work either by killing (vermicide) or expelling (vermifuge) the worms, reducing worm burdens and controlling infections. This comprehensive overview covers different aspects of anthelmintics, including their prope

Immune Responses to Parasitic Infections and Evasive Strategies by Protozoan and Helminth Parasites

Parasitic infections pose complex challenges to the immune system due to the diverse nature of parasites, including protozoans and helminths. Protozoan parasites move between arthropod vectors and mammalian hosts, requiring both humoral and cell-mediated immune responses. Meanwhile, helminths, as mu
