Abstract | ||||
Antiparasitic resistance is recognized as one of the most serious global health challenges of the 21st century. A continued focus on parasitic diseases is essential for improving strategies to preserve the efficacy of existing antiparasitic medications and to reduce the global burden posed by these diseases. This review explores the One Health perspective on antiparasitic resistance, emphasizing the interrelationship of human, animal, and environmental health. It also analyzes the primary categories of antiparasitic drugs, the parasitic organisms exhibiting resistance, the mechanisms by which resistance is acquired. Additionally, it evaluates current control and surveillance methods, strategies to fight resistance, and offers insights into future research directions | ||||
