	Anthelmintic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Anthelmintics (in the U.S., antihelminthics) are drugs that expel parasitic worms (helminths) from the body, by either killing or stunning them.
		Many members of the piperazine family are successful anthelmintics.
		Natural anthelmintics include fl walnut, wormwood (Artemisia absynthium), clove (Syzygium aromaticum), tansy tea (Tanacetum vulgare), Hagenia (Hagenia abyssinica), and the male fern (Dryopteris filix-mas).

	Effects of Late-Summer Protein Supplementation and Deworming on Performance of Beef Heifers Grazing Native Range
		The objective of this study was to determine the effects of deworming and protein supplementation during late-summer on performance of fall-born heifers grazing native warm-season pastures.
		Anthelmintic treatment did not influence weight gain during the first period of the study (August) although deworming did increase performance in each of the last two periods (September and October).
		Overall, the combination of anthelmintic treatment and protein supplementation increased average daily weight gain by 0.76 lb/d, with approximately 63% of the response being attributed to protein supplementation and 37% of the response being attributed to deworming.

	Piperazine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Piperazine was first introduced as an anthelmintic in 1953.
		Their mode of action is generally by paralysing parasites, which allows the host body to easily remove or expel the invading organism.
		These drugs are often referred to simply as "piperazine" which may cause confusion between the specific anthelmintic drugs and the entire class of piperazine-containing compounds.

	Parasite variations and polymorphism
		Anthelmintic resistance in nematode parasites of sheep and goats is now a firmly established phenomenon, particularly in warm temperate or tropical regions of the world.
		Anthelmintic resistance in nematode parasites of sheep, goats and horses is now a firmly established phenomenon, particularly in warm temperate or tropical regions of the world (Waller and Prichard, 1986).
		A critical factor in the evolution of anthelmintic resistance in a worm population is the extent to which survivors of drug treatment contribute their genes to future generations of worms.

	Guideline 36 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Anthelmintic testing (other than clinical field trials) may be conducted with either naturally or experimentally infected animals.
		Anthelmintic treatment should be administered to the bitch at least 7 days after experimental inoculation or at least 2 days prior to parturition.
		However, experimental infections must be utilized in evaluating the activity of anthelmintics against migratory and immature stages as well as against the somatic stages of ascarids which may be transmitted by intrauterine or transmammary routes.

		Anthelmintic therapy alone improved iron status in schoolchildren in communities where parasitic (hookworm) infections were common [11].
		The interaction terms of anthelmintic therapy with time, iron-fortified soup with time, and anthelmintic therapy with iron-fortified soup with time were of interest to see whether the treatments had significant effects relative to the initial prevalences of the parasites.
		Interaction between the effects of iron fortification and anthelmintic therapy was observed for MCH (p=.0311), serum ferritin (p=.0060), and transferrin saturation (p =.0097).

		Many of the most effective Anthelmintics shouldn’t be used due in part to their high toxic properties.
		There are many anthelmintic herbs available, but again, due to their very toxic nature, I will only discuss a few of them here.

		Furthermore, a low urban immigration rate, which has been substantiated by genetic microsatellite analyses for the Zürich urban fox population (38), and a low hunting pressure (see Methods) contribute to the moderate spatial dynamics of the urban fox population, which we assume to be a precondition for the effectiveness of the small-scale anthelmintic treatment.

		Some of the plants used as traditional anthelmintics in Africa have been studied and the chemical basis of their action outlined.
		This study was designed to detect and salvage traditional anthelmintic herbs which may be used for the control of parasitic gastroenteritis in animals using Nippostrongylus braziliensis as the indicator organism in rats.
		The anthelmintic factors contained in Anogeissus leiocarpus, Annona senegalensis and Terminalia avicennioides, all of which were found to be effective in this study, are unknown, but related species have been studied for action against other organisms.

		The practice of “anthelmintic rotation” was designed to try and reduce the development of parasite resistance and to ensure that, if one deworming treatment “missed” some parasites, they would be killed by the next (different) treatment.
		The indiscriminate use of anthelmintic drugs without veterinary supervision is an important causative factor for the development of parasite resistance.
		The veterinarian will determine which anthelmintic drugs are effective or ineffective on a given farm (there is widespread, but not universal, resistance to benzimidazoles).

		Anthelmintic use, by far the least complex of control options, is currently the preferred method for internal parasite management (Jackson, 1991; Zajac and Moore, 1993).
		Anthelmintic resistance of internal parasite populations exists for all current drug families including benzimidazole (McKenna, 1990), levamisole (Verady et al., 1993), ivermectin (DeVaney et al., 1992), and tomorantel (Anderson et al., 1988).
		However, potential use of these plants as anthelmintics and optimal dosing regimes for ruminants have yet to be identified.

	Recommendations for Veterinarians;
		Deworming is most effective in preventing environmental contamination and human illness when it is aimed at pups and kittens and their dams because they harbor the most worms and thus produce the most infective-stage larvae (11,12).
		Where both ascarids and hookworms are commonly transmitted, anthelmintic drugs should be given to pups at ages 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks of age.
		Choose from a great variety of anthelmintic drugs that are safe and effective against ascarids, hookworms, and other intestinal helminths of dogs and cats (Table 1) (13).

	EFFICACY OF GARLIC AS AN ANTHELMINTIC IN DONKEYS
		The main objective of this study was to determine whether a garlic treatment method commonly used in Israel to treat horses and donkeys is efficacious as an anthelmintic against Stongylidae in donkeys.
		The failure of garlic as an anthelmintic (13,17) may have been due to the method used to prepare the garlic, the dose administered, the method of evaluating the outcome, or that garlic has no anthelmintic effect at all.
		In this study the garlic was boiled, so as to follow the method used by horse owners, despite the fact that the allicin was likely destroyed in the process.
