Summary

Anthelmintic research is declining despite widespread parasite resistance. Increased investment in veterinary parasitology is crucial to ensure effective helminth control for animal health and prevent future drug resistance crises.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Pharmacology
  • Parasitology
  • Drug Discovery

Background:

  • Veterinary parasitology research funding is declining, perceived as unimportant due to successful macrocyclic lactone anthelmintics in cattle.
  • Anthelmintic resistance in sheep and horses is a growing concern, yet the market is deemed too small for pharmaceutical investment.
  • Complacency regarding drug efficacy is dangerous, as evidenced by antibiotic resistance, highlighting the need for proactive research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the critical need for renewed investment in anthelmintic pharmacology research.
  • To propose priority research questions to modernize the field of veterinary helminthology.
  • To stimulate a renaissance in research to ensure future chemotherapeutic control of helminth infections.

Main Methods:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Review of the current state of anthelmintic pharmacology and veterinary parasitology.
  • Identification of critical research gaps and challenges.
  • Proposal of a prioritized research agenda for funding.

Main Results:

  • The field of anthelmintic pharmacology faces significant underfunding and devaluation.
  • Existing perceptions of helminth infections as unimportant are dangerously misguided.
  • A strategic research focus is essential to combat emerging anthelmintic resistance.

Conclusions:

  • Continued neglect of anthelmintic research jeopardizes future helminth control in animals.
  • Prioritized research investment is vital to address resistance and ensure drug efficacy.
  • A proactive approach is necessary to prevent a crisis in veterinary parasiticides.
