Predicting the risk and speed of drug resistance emerging in soil-transmitted helminths during preventive chemotherapy
2023-09-21
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold>BACKGROUND</bold>: Control of soil-transmitted helminths (STH) relies heavily on regular large-scale deworming of high-risk groups (e.g., children) with benzimidazole derivatives. Although drug resistance has not yet been documented in human STH, regular deworming of cattle and sheep has led to widespread benzimidazole resistance in veterinary helminths. <bold>METHODS</bold>: Usin...
