Failure of doramectin and ivermectin in preventing Cochliomyia hominivorax myiasis in a subtropical region: A pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic study.

The aim of this work is to present a case study where the failure of IVM 3.15 % and DRM 1 % to prevent natural infestations of C. hominivorax larvae in Argentina is investigated based on field efficacy tests and a pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic analysis.

First report of ivermectin resistance in cyathostomins (small strongyles) of horses in Argentina.

In Argentina, as in the rest of the world, cyathostomins are the most common nematodes parasitizing horses. Control is based almost exclusively on the administration of benzimidazoles, pyrimidines, and macrocyclic lactones. However, intensive use of these drugs is resulting in the development of anthelmintic resistance (AR).

Reduced efficacy of ivermectin and moxidectin against Parascaris spp. in foals from Argentina.

Macrocyclic lactones are the most widely used drugs for the control of gastrointestinal nematodes of horses in Argentina. Ivermectin and moxidectin are used as broad spectrum anthelmintics and although there are several international reports on the resistance of Parascaris spp., the resistance status of the local nematode population is largely unknow.

Anthelmintic resistance in grazing beef cattle in central and northeastern areas of Argentina - An update.

The presence of anthelmintic resistance in Argentina has experienced a marked increase in cattle, with numerous reports showing levels of resistance of different parasite genera to different chemical groups. The aim of this study is to update comprehensively the situation of anthelmintic resistance to the different chemical groups in the most important areas of cattle production in Argentina. The study involved the determination of anthelmintic resistance in 62 cattle farms in 7 provinces using the faecal egg count reductions test.
