- Abstract
For many decades, chemical anthelmintic drugs have been useful to diminish the undesirable consequences of parasites on both health and performance of many of the most economically valuable animal species used for food resources. Since the middle of the last century, the development of chemical anthelmintic drugs by the pharmaceutical industry has been gaining important reputation worldwide, and the use of such drugs currently is the main strategy to control GIPN in animal farming systems. Consumer awareness of animal welfare and environmental health has led to a plateau level of global consumption putting serious pressure on the livestock industry [[1]]. A few decades after the discovery of pesticides and synthetic chemical anthelmintic drugs, reports about anthelmintic drug efficiency failure have become more and more frequent.
