Anthelmintics: Clinical Pharmacology, Uses in Veterinary Medicine and Efficacy

Anthelmintics: Veterinary Pharmacology and Efficacy

This reference explores the clinical pharmacology, therapeutic applications, and effectiveness of anthelmintic drugs used to control parasitic worm infections. It examines their role in veterinary and human medicine, the growing challenge of anthelmintic resistance, and alternative approaches to parasite management. With coverage of drug efficacy and plant-based products such as neem and pawpaw against Oesophagostomum infections in pigs, the book supports the study of parasite control and animal health.
