The epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical findings and treatment of parasitic infections in donkeys are described in detail in [[Parasites - Donkey|the parasite section]]. Further information on antiparasitic treatment of working donkeys outside the UK is given in [[Exotic Infections - Donkey]] section.

 

Interval dosing with potent, broad-spectrum anthelmintics used for horses is also suitable for donkeys (Trawford, 2004). The epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical findings and treatment of parasitic infections in donkeys are described in detail in [[Parasites - Donkey|the parasite section]]. Further information on antiparasitic treatment of working donkeys outside the UK is given in [[Exotic Infections - Donkey]] section.

Three principal chemical classes of anthelmintics (macrocyclic lactones, benzimidazoles and tetrahydropyrimidines) are used most

Previous trials at [http://drupal.thedonkeysanctuary.org.uk/ the Donkey Sanctuary] suggest that resistance to the benzimidazole and pyrantel derivatives is developing. Recent trials have indicated that resistance to [[Macrocyclic Lactones|moxidectin]] may be developing. Future development in biological control using nematode-trapping fungi is being studied.
