TL;DR
The epidemiology of the major equine helminths is discussed, current knowledge on anthelmintic resistance is summarised, and practical guidance on implementing sustainable parasite control programmes in clinical practice is provided.
Abstract
Background
: For decades, equine parasite control has relied heavily on routine anthelmintic administration. As resistance to multiple medicine classes becomes increasingly widespread, first‐opinion practitioners face the challenge of balancing effective parasite control with preserving the efficacy of the treatments that remain available.
Aim of the article
: This article discusses the epidemiology of the major equine helminths, summarises current knowledge on anthelmintic resistance and provides practical guidance on implementing sustainable parasite control programmes in clinical practice.
The findings underscore the need for integrated, multidisciplinary interventions that combine vector control with advances in natural and nanotechnology-based therapies, aiming to optimize the management of this neglected zoonosis.

ABSTRACT The number of infections caused by the fungal pathogen Coccidioides is rising. In tandem, the number and breadth of researchers studying this important dimorphic fungal pathogen are growing as well. This review focuses on recent advances in the field and identifies areas primed for ongoing rapid growth, with t...
Important uncertainties remain regarding the role of coinfection, asymptomatic carriage, and the contribution of toxigenic Corynebacterium diphtheriae to clinical disease. This Letter to the Editor highlights several key unanswered questions and emphasises the need for a better understanding of this re-emerging infecti...

Toxoplasma gondii is one of the most important parasites globally in both veterinary and human medicine, with significant impacts on livestock. Approximately one-third of the global population is latently infected. In humans, infection is typically asymptomatic or causes mononucleosis-like symptoms, but primary infecti...
