The indiscriminate use of antiparasitics for the treatment of helminths in horses has caused the ineffectiveness of commonly used chemical active principles, therefore, new alternatives such as the use of helminthophagous fungi have been studied. In this context, this study aimed to evaluate the in vitro efficacy of the commercial formulation Bioverm, composed of the fungus Duddingtonia flagrans strain AC001, in the reduction of gastrointestinal nematode larvae in equine feces. In coproculture, the genus Cyathostomum sp. was the most prevalent in the analyzed samples. The commercial formulation with D. flagrans demonstrated effectiveness in the predation of Cyathostomum sp. in tests. The recommended dose of 0.4 g, containing 10 chlamydospores per gram of product, reduced larvae by 44.23%, while the extrapolated dose of 1.0 g with the same concentrations of chlamydospores (10/g) resulted in a reduction of 57.20%, indicating the effectiveness of the product in controlling infective larvae.

Introduction: This study aims at determining the pattern of antibiotic consumption and resistance in Mauritius, a tropical island in the Indian Ocean.
Methodology: Antibiotic consumption was measured in kilograms of purchased antibiotics and also in defined daily dose (DDD) in different health institutions from 2015 to 2017. Data on antibiotic resistance was collected at the Central Health Laboratory (CHL) at Victoria Hospital and at Jeetoo Hospital Laboratory, where antibiotic sensitivity testing is done for all public health institutions.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic disorder characterized by insulin resistance, leading to elevated blood sugar levels. Exogenous insulin can counteract the diminished response to insulin and effectively controlling blood glucose levels, thereby minimizing diabetes-related complications. However, given the injectable nature of exogenous insulin, apprehensions regarding its safety and the difficulties associated with its administration have hindered its widespread and prompt utilization.
