Two currently available anthelmintics have documented high efficacy against <em>Anoplocephala perfoliata</em>; praziquantel in various dosages ranging from 1.0 to 2.5 mg/kg and pyrantel pamoate administered at 13.2 mg base/kg. Anthelmintic resistance has not been reported in <em>A. perfoliata</em>, but anecdotal reports made during 2022 have suggested a possible loss of efficacy for both actives. This paper reports fecal egg count data from a Thoroughbred operation in Central Kentucky in 2023. Fifty-six yearlings were first dewormed with a combination of ivermectin (200 μg/kg) and praziquantel (1.5 mg/kg) and subsequently treated with pyrantel pamoate (13.2 mg base/kg). Fecal egg counts were determined at the day of treatment and again 14 days post-treatment. Two groups of mares (n = 39 and 45) were also treated with ivermectin/praziquantel and examined pre- and post-treatment. Low efficacy of ivermectin and pyrantel pamoate was demonstrated against strongylid parasites in the yearlings with mean Fecal Egg Count Reductions (FECRs) at 75.6% or below and upper 95% credible interval (CI) limits below 90% in all cases. Overall anti-cestodal FECR levels in the yearlings were 23.5% (95% CI: 11.2–48.0) for praziquantel and 50.9% (20.5–72.0) for pyrantel pamoate. Praziquantel eliminated anoplocephalid eggs from three of 17 yearlings, but another 5 yearlings went from negative to positive status following treatment. Pyrantel pamoate failed to eliminate anoplocephalid eggs from any of 14 treated tapeworm-positive yearlings. Nine of 84 mares tested positive for anoplocephalid eggs, and seven of these were still positive post praziquantel treatment. These findings sharply contrast data from historic field efficacy studies conducted for both actives and raise concern about anthelmintic resistance having possibly developed. This emphasizes the need for developing and refining antemortem methodologies for evaluating anti-cestodal treatment efficacy and for searching for possible alternative treatment options.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":13775,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for Parasitology: Drugs and Drug Resistance","volume":"22 ","pages":"Pages 96-101"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/62/5b/main.PMC10331019.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9889388","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite recent reports of <em>A. caninum</em> isolates resistant to all classes of anthelmintics, little is known about the frequency and extent of this anthelmintic resistance. The study aim was to evaluate the efficacy of three commercial anthelmintic products in the treatment of foxhound dogs with a history of persistent <em>A. caninum</em> infections. In the first phase of this study, 35 foxhounds were randomly divided into three treatment groups: moxidectin/imidacloprid (MI), pyrantel pamoate/febantel/praziquantel (PFP), and emodepside/praziquantel (EP). Fecal samples were collected on day 0, 11, and 33 post-treatment (PT), and hookworm eggs were quantified using the mini-FLOTAC technique with a multiplication factor of 5 eggs per gram (EPG). The fecal egg count reduction (FECR) on day 11 PT was 65% (95% CI: 62%–68%) for MI, 69% (95% CI: 66%–72%) for PFP, and 96% (95% CI: 94%–97%) for EP. On day 33 PT, the FEC in the MI and PFP groups returned to almost the same values as on day 0, while in the EP group, the FEC remained low. Since MI and PFP proved ineffective, 32 animals were randomly divided into two groups in the second phase. They were treated either with a combination of MI/PFP or EP. The FECR at day 13 PT for the combination MI/PFP was 89% (95% CI: 87%–91%) and 99% (95% CI: 98%–99%) for EP. These results suggest that this <em>A. caninum</em> population is resistant to multiple anthelmintics. Although the combination of MI/PFP improved the anthelmintic efficacy, the FECR remained below 90%. Future studies are indicated to evaluate further the epidemiology of persistent hookworm infections in dogs in the US and to identify more effective treatment protocols as they pose a significant health risk to canine and human health.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":13775,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for Parasitology: Drugs and Drug Resistance","volume":"22 ","pages":"Pages 102-106"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/82/82/main.PMC10391654.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9924601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In most parasitic nematodes and fungi, BZ-resistance is caused by β-tubulin mutations and its molecular mode of action (MOA) is well studied. In contrast, in <em>Giardia duodenalis</em> BZ MOA or resistance is less well understood, may involve target-specific and broader impacts including cellular damage and oxidative stress, and its underlying cause is not clearly determined. Previously, we identified acquisition of a single nucleotide polymorphism, E198K, in β-tubulin in ALB-resistant (ALB-R) <em>G. duodenalis</em> WB-1B relative to ALB-sensitive (ALB-S) parental controls. E198K is linked to BZ-resistance in fungi and its allelic frequency correlated with the magnitude of BZ-resistance in <em>G. duodenalis</em> WB-1B. Here, we undertook detailed transcriptomic comparisons of these ALB-S and ALB-R <em>G. duodenalis</em> WB-1B cultures. The primary transcriptional changes with ALB-R in <em>G. duodenalis</em> WB-1B indicated increased protein degradation and turnover, and up-regulation of tubulin, and related genes, associated with the adhesive disc and basal bodies. These findings are consistent with previous observations noting focused disintegration of the disc and associated structures in <em>Giardia duodenalis</em> upon ALB exposure. We also saw transcriptional changes with ALB-R in <em>G. duodenalis</em> WB-1B consistent with prior observations of a shift from glycolysis to arginine metabolism for ATP production and possible changes to aspects of the vesicular trafficking system that require further investigation. Finally, we saw mixed transcriptional changes associated with DNA repair and oxidative stress responses in the <em>G. duodenalis</em> WB-1B line. These changes may be indicative of a role for H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> degradation in ALB-R, as has been observed in other <em>G. duodenalis</em> cell cultures. However, they were below the transcriptional fold-change threshold (log<sub>2</sub>FC &gt; 1) typically employed in transcriptomic analyses and appear to be contradicted in ALB-R <em>G. duodenalis</em> WB-1B by down-regulation of the NAD scavenging and conversion pathways required to support these stress pathways and up-regulation of many highly oxidation sensitive iron-sulphur (FeS) cluster based metabolic enzymes.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":13775,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for Parasitology: Drugs and Drug Resistance","volume":"22 ","pages":"Pages 9-19"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10111952/pdf/main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9893540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study was designed to detect anthelmintic resistance with the low fecal egg counts that typically occur in cattle in northern temperate regions. Two hundred and thirty-four auction market-derived, fall-weaned steer calves coming off pasture were randomized into three groups in feedlot pens: an untreated control group, an injectable ivermectin treatment group, and an injectable ivermectin/oral fenbendazole combination treatment group. Each group was divided into six replicate pens with 13 calves per pen. Individual fecal samples were taken pre-treatment, day 14 post-treatment, and at monthly intervals for six months for strongyle egg counting and metabarcoding. Ivermectin treatment resulted in an 82.4% mean strongyle-type fecal egg count reduction (95% CI 67.8–90.4) at 14 days post-treatment, while the combination treatment was 100% effective, confirming the existence of ivermectin-resistant GIN.

The lack of a safe and effective therapy makes it necessary to search for new, less toxic and totally effective compounds against this parasite. In this work, the antichagasic activity of 46 novel cyanomethyl vinyl ether derivatives was studied. In addition, to elucidate the type of cell death that these compounds produce in parasites, several events related to programmed cell death were studied. The results highlight four more selective compounds, E63, E64, E74 and E83, which also appear to trigger programmed cell death, and are therefore postulated as good candidates to use in future therapeutics for Chagas disease.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":13775,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for Parasitology: Drugs and Drug Resistance","volume":"22 ","pages":"Pages 72-80"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/79/e1/main.PMC10276036.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10268451","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Early detection of AR status is required to reduce selection for AR and cannot be achieved using phenotypic tests. For benzimidazoles (BZs), the detection of AR-associated alleles characterised by single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the isotype 1 β-tubulin gene allows early AR detection in strongyles. The F200Y, F167Y, E198A and E198L polymorphisms have been described in BZ-resistant populations with a clear variation in frequencies between regions. A novel digital PCR (dPCR) enables the detection of all of the above-described polymorphisms in <em>H. contortus</em>. Assays were validated using synthetic DNA fragments containing these SNPs. Then, larvae obtained and pooled at farm level from 26 Austrian and 10 Italian sheep farms were analysed. For all assays a detection limit of 15 copies/μl of resistance alleles and a high level of accuracy were demonstrated, allowing to detect allele frequencies of 1% in most samples. In Austrian samples, elevated frequencies of F200Y resistance alleles were detected on all farms. Polymorphisms in codon 167 and codon 198 were identified in <em>H. contortus</em> from Austria for the first time. In Italian samples, the frequency of resistance alleles was still comparatively low, but F200Y resistance alleles were traceable. In conclusion we developed for the first time dPCR assays that target all SNPs of relevance associated with BZ-resistance in <em>H. contortus</em>. Future research on AR development could benefit from an early onset of SNP-based surveillance that would include the developed assays for all SNPs of relevance. Improved surveillance in the long term will include other important, though less pathogenic, nematode genera in the analyses.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":13775,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for Parasitology: Drugs and Drug Resistance","volume":"22 ","pages":"Pages 88-95"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/86/a7/main.PMC10336075.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10268475","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
