FDA Veterinarians Contribute One Health Resource on Global Antiparasitic Resistance in Grazing Livestock The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Center for Veterinary Medicine is announcing the availability of "Responsible and Prudent Use of Anthelmintic Chemicals to Help Control Anthelmintic Resistance in Grazing Livestock Species," a resource drafted in part by FDA experts and published by the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE), an independent global organization dedicated to promoting and protecting animal health. Helminths are a type of parasite that can infect both humans and animals. This resource focuses on helminths that are commonly found in grazing animals, such as cattle, sheep, and goats. These parasitic worms can infect animals and affect their growth, weight gain, and ability to become and stay pregnant. Animals that are severely infected with helminths can become severely ill or die. Anthelmintic drugs have traditionally been used to control these parasites but can lose their effectiveness over time as the parasites evolve to become resistant to the medication.
