Review, Journal: A systematic review of the molecular mechanisms related to anthelmintic resistance in Haemonchus contortus: A contemporary narrative. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 25, 2025 Additionally, resistance mechanisms to levamisole (LEV) and monepantel are discussed, showing evidence of polymorphisms in genes related to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR)...We suggest that new publications on drug resistance should adopt the approaches and refer to this new era of scientific discoveries. Consistent data interpretation, including artificial intelligence (AI) support, will help us to suggest novel biological mechanisms involved in drug resistance and predict its evolution, allowing a more comprehensible approach toward sustainable parasite control strategies.

Journal: Further Investigation Into an Environmental Source for Aminorex. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 19, 2024 In 2009, levamisole was identified as a source for several aminorex positives reported in postrace equine samples in Canada...Resedine was administered to one horse and was detected in plasma and urine samples, but aminorex was only detected in urine samples. These results provide evidence that resedine is an intermediary compound between barbarin and aminorex in horses and that resedine can be used as a biomarker to eliminate the reporting of aminorex positives originating from the ingestion of plants from the Brassicaceae family.

This study supports the Racing Medication and Testing Consortium Advisory on levamisole, which suggests that clearance sample testing should be conducted on treated horses to verify elimination of levamisole and its metabolites.

Alternatively, the cIgAN may be the outcome of hepatotoxicity resu from the resolved hepatitis C infection, however the patient's presentation and the timeline is more suggestive of a levamisole induced process..

Review, Journal: Cocaine- and Levamisole-Induced Vasculitis: Defining the Spectrum of Autoimmune Manifestations.

Diagnosing and treating these conditions becomes challenging when cocaine and levamisole abuse is not suspected, due to the differences and overlaps in clinical, diagnostic, therapeutic, and prognostic aspects compared to primary idiopathic vasculitides.
