The alarming development of triple resistant Parascaris spp. is an increasing threat to foal health and the equine industry, due to the risk of increasing veterinary costs and loss of foals. A continued development of triple resistant roundworms in Sweden would be devastating for foals and breeders. It is therefore of uttermost importance to gain more knowledge about anthelmintic resistance and to develop tests to detect resistant parasites. The aims of this project are to 1) evaluate the spread of resistance to the substance fenbendazole (Axilur®) in foals in Sweden 2) identify markers for detection of resistance and development of a method for rapid detection of resistant parasites 3) develop an in vitro method for study of drug resistance and screening of new drug candidates. The results from this project will be used to monitor further development of resistance and be included in new sustainable parasitic control guidelines.
Spolmaskens utveckling av resistens mot alla tillgängliga avmaskningsmedel är ett växande hot mot föls hälsa, men även ett ekonomiskt problem för hästuppfödare pga. risken för ökade veterinärkostnader och förlust av föl. En fortsatt utbredning av trippelresistenta spolmaskar i Sverige skulle vara förödande för föl och hästuppfödare. Det är därför av största vikt att få mer kunskap om läkemedelsresistens samt att ta fram tester för detektion av resistenta parasiter. Syftet med detta projekt är att 1) utvärdera hur utbredd resistens mot substansen fenbendazol (Axilur®) är i Sverige 2) identifiera markörer och utveckla en metod för detektion av resistens som kan användas i parasitkontrollprogram 3) utveckla en in vitro-metod för vidare studier av resistens och screening av nya läkemedel. Resultaten från projektet kommer att användas för fortsatt övervakning av resistensläget och kommer att ligga till grund för långsiktigt hållbara parasitkontrollrutiner.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health threat. The WHO global action plan on AMR mentions LA-MRSA (Livestock-associated Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus) that is prevalent in pigs in many countries. The public health threat is generally low but for affected individuals it is a …
