Journal: Questionnaire survey on helminth control practices in horse farms in Ireland. (Pubmed Central) - May 11, 2020 The majority of farms (81.4%) treated horses 4-5 times per year and 74.2% only estimated the weight of the horses visually. The findings of this study illustrates that many stud managers/owners do not follow best practice with regard to helminth control and more education is needed.

Clinical, Journal: Risankizumab-Aggravated Crusted Scabies in a Patient with Down Syndrome. (Pubmed Central) - May 8, 2020 The patient was hospitalized and successfully treated by local permethrine and systemic ivermectine. This case suggests that even though anti-IL23 antagonists display an excellent overall safety profile, a particular caution for infections should still be respected in patients with underlying risk factors.

Clinical, Journal: Risk factors for treatment failure in scabies: a cohort study. (Pubmed Central) - May 7, 2020 This case suggests that even though anti-IL23 antagonists display an excellent overall safety profile, a particular caution for infections should still be respected in patients with underlying risk factors. Use of topical BB alone and a single (versus two) intake of ivermectin are predictors of treatment failure.

Journal: A Roadmap for the Development of Ivermectin as a Complementary Malaria Vector Control Tool. (Pubmed Central) - May 6, 2020 The roadmap covers various aspects, which include 1) the definition of optimal dosage/regimens for ivermectin MDA in both humans and livestock, 2) the risk of resistance to the drug and environmental impact, 3) ethical issues, 4) political and community engagement, 5) translation of evidence into policy, and 6) operational aspects of large-scale deployment of the drug, all in the context of a drug given as a prevention tool acting at the community level. The roadmap reflects the insights of a multidisciplinary group of global health experts who worked together to elucidate the path to inclusion of ivermectin in the toolbox against malaria, to address residual transmission, counteract insecticide resistance, and contribute to the end of this deadly disease.

Strongyloides Screening in Heart Transplant Candidates () - Apr 26, 2020 - Abstract #ISHLT2020ISHLT_1272; All with positive serologic screening were treated pre-transplant with ivermectin...Given the variability in diagnostic yield across commercially available serologic assays, these findings raise the possibility of false negative results and thus, bring into question the utility and reliability of using serologic testing alone, for screening of Strongyloides infection among HT candidates. Accordingly, a thoughtful assessment of epidemiologic risk is essential for appropriate risk stratification and management of Strongyloides in HT candidates and recipients.

Journal: Survey of husbandry practices for bovidae in zoos: the importance of parasite management for reintroduction programmes. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 26, 2020 The frequent use of concentrating flotation techniques as the sole method to evaluate the presence of parasite eggs in faecal samples is not recommended because it fails to detect trematode and lung nematode infections, so it would be better to use flotation techniques together with sedimentation procedures or serological and molecular tests. The results suggest that parasite control in zoological institutions can be complicated, indicating the need to implement a specific management schedule for institutions involved in reintroduction projects.
