A simple, rapid, and sensitive method for isolation and detection of macrolide endectocides (moxidectin, doramectin, selamectin, ivermectin, and eprinomectin) in animal sera and liver is described. Fortified sera or homogenized liver samples were treated with sodium chloride followed by organic solvent extraction. No additional steps were required prior to analysis. Separation of analytes and collection of mass information was achieved by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry with positive atmospheric pressure chemical ionization set in selected ion monitoring mode with each sample analysis complete in 15 minutes. Presence of each compound was confirmed based on 2 separate extracted ion profiles. Detection of avermectins and moxidectin in a range of working standards was achieved at 10, 50, and 100 ppb. Quantitation of these compounds in fortified samples was based on standard calibration curves with R2 > 0.99. Detection limits of 10 ppb for ivermectin, moxidectin, and doramectin, 50 ppb for selamectin, and 100 ppb for eprinomectin were achieved in spiked sera. Recoveries of avermectins and moxidectin in 500 ppb fortified sera fell between 61 and 89% (+/-5.7-15.7). Analysis of fortified liver gave comparable results with recovery of selamectin of 83-91% +/- 18.3. A complete mass spectral fragmentation pattern of selamectin and affordable screening method for 6 macrolide endectocides are reported. Method comparison for salt treatment and solid-phase extraction of fortified samples is discussed.

Impact of standard and long-lasting ivermectin formulations in cattle and buffalo on wild Anopheles survival on Sumba Island, Indonesia.
Sci Rep

Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the effectiveness of two types of ivermectin in killing wild-caught Anopheles mosquitoes in cattle and buffalo on Sumba Island, Indonesia, finding cattle had higher blood levels of the drug.
- Nine species of Anopheles mosquitoes were tested for susceptibility to ivermectin, with varying degrees of lethality, revealing that long-lasting ivermectin outperformed the standard formulation, especially in cattle.
- Buffalo were found to attract mosquitoes more than cattle, horses, and humans, indicating they might need higher doses of long-lasting ivermectin to match the effectiveness seen in cattle, highlighting the potential of ivermectin as a livestock treatment for malaria control in Southeast Asia.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how different dosing regimens of ivermectin affect the survival of malaria vectors (mosquitoes) and their potential to reduce malaria transmission.
- An open-label randomized control trial was conducted in Kenya with 36 participants, comparing a single dose of ivermectin, a 3-day regimen of ivermectin, albendazole, and a control group with no treatment.
- Results indicated that both ivermectin regimens significantly impacted mosquito survival within the first week, but the single dose proved to be more effective over a 10-day period compared to the multi-day regimen.

Treatment of livestock with endectocides such as ivermectin is viewed as a complementary vector control approach to address residual transmission of malaria. However, efficacy of this treatment may vary between animal species. Hence, our purpose was to investigate the effects of ivermectin treatments of common livestock species on life history traits of the opportunistic malaria vector Anopheles coluzzii.

Although there have been few reports of resistance to date in human ectoparasites, we must anticipate the development of resistance in mosquitoes in the future. Hence, through this review, we mapped the existing evidence on ivermectin resistance mechanisms in human ectoparasites.

Background: Ivermectin is a well-tolerated anthelminthic drug with wide clinical and veterinary applications. It also has lethal and sublethal effects on mosquitoes. Mass drug administration with ivermectin has therefore been suggested as an innovative vector control tool in efforts to curb emerging insecticide resistance and reduce residual malaria transition.
