ANTI-INFECTIVE DRUGS


Also known as: Parasiticides

As discussed on the parasite pages of the site, disease caused by parasites can lead to a lot of damage to an individual animal and can lead to a massive reduction in productivity in the farmed species. Thus it is important to try and control parasites and to limit or more importantly stop their negative effects upon the host animal.

On these pages are discussed the drugs used to this effect. We shall discuss their mode of action, which species of parasite they effect and how best to use the treatments. We shall also address the growing problem of resistance to these drugs.
