Poor access to clean water, inadequate sanitation, and limited infection control contribute to the spread of parasites. Although antiparasitic drugs were a breakthrough in veterinary and medical sciences, their effectiveness is now declining due to drug resistance. While antimicrobial resistance has received significant attention, the specific issue of antiparasitic resistance remains underaddressed.
This book offers a detailed exploration of antiparasitic drug resistance for parasitologists, pharmacologists, and veterinary scientists. It focuses on the mechanisms of resistance and the factors driving this growing problem. This book is suitable for researchers of parasitology, pharmacology, and veterinary sciences, as well as veterinary practitioners interested in drug resistance and effective stewardship.
