Sorption and mobility of Ivermectin in different soils
Avermectins are widely used to treat livestock for parasite infections. Ivermectin, which belongs to the group of avermectins, is particularly hazardous to the environment, especially to crustaceans and to soil-dwelling organisms. Sorption is one of the key factors controlling transport and bioavailability. Therefore, batch studies have been conducted to characterize the sorption and desorption ...

Multi‐year and short‐term responses of soil ammonia‐oxidizing prokaryotes to zinc bacitracin, monensin and ivermectin, singly or in combination
The authors initiated a field experiment whereby a series of replicated plots received annual applications of ivermectin, monensin and zinc bacitracin, either singly or in a mixture. Pharmaceuticals were added at concentrations of 0.1 mg/ kg soil, or 10 mg/kg soil. The authors collected soil samples in 2013, before and following the fourth annual application of pharmaceuticals. In addition, a ...

Effects of ivermectin application on the diversity and function of dung and soil fauna: Regulatory and scientific background information
The application of veterinary medical products (VMPs) to livestock can impact soil organisms in manure‐amended fields or adversely affect organisms that colonize dung pats of treated animals, and potentially retard the degradation of dung on pastures. For this reason, the authorization process for VMPs in the European Union includes a requirement for higher‐tier tests when adverse effects on ...

A field test of the effect of spiked ivermectin concentrations on the biodiversity of coprophagous dung insects in Switzerland
Veterinary medical product residues can cause severe damage in the dung ecosystem. Depending on the manner of application and the time after treatment, the excreted concentration of a given pharmaceutical varies. The popular anthelmintic drug ivermectin (IVM) can be applied to livestock in several different ways and is faecally excreted over a period of days to months after application. In a ...

Onchocerciasis Vaccine Research - Case Study
What is onchocerciasis? Onchocerciasis or river blindness is a human disease caused by the filarial worm Onchocerca volvulus, and it endangers approximately 120 million people each year globally. When the worms become adults, they can live for over a decade in knots ("nodules") under the skin and release millions of of smaller worms or microfilariae. Circulating microfilariae cause many clinical ...
