DOI: 10.1111/evj.12742

Abstract: BACKGROUND Anthelmintic resistance combined with limited chemotherapeutic options has prompted a change in approaches to control of equine helminth infections. Targeted selective treatment strategies use diagnostics to reduce anthelmintic use by treating individuals with worm… read more here.

DOI: 10.1130/g52071.1

Abstract: Parasites are ubiquitous in extant ecosystems but rarely preserved in the geological record, especially parasitic worms (helminths). One such group is Cestoda (tapeworms), a specialized endoparasitic group of platyhelminths (flatworms). They have a complex lifecycle… read more here.
