  • Title: Worms--a "license to kill".
    Author: Kaminsky R, Rufener L, Bouvier J, Lizundia R, Schorderet Weber S, Sager H.
    Journal: Vet Parasitol; 2013 Aug 01; 195(3-4):286-91. PubMed ID: 23664156.
    Abstract:
    Worm infections can cause severe harm and death to both humans and numerous domestic and wild animals. Despite the fact that there are many beneficial worm species, veterinarians, physicians and parasitologists have multiple reasons to combat parasitic worms. The pros and cons of various approaches for the discovery of new control methods are discussed, including novel anthelmintics, vaccines and genetic approaches to identify novel drug and vaccine targets. Currently, the mainstay of worm control remains chemotherapy and prophylaxis. The importance of knowledgeable and wise use of the available anthelmintics is highlighted.
