Can Moxidectin Be an Anthelmintic Alternative for Trichuris trichiura and Strongyloides stercoralis: A Systematic Review

Acceso Abierto

Abstract:

Strongyloides stercoralis and Trichuris trichiura parasitic infections are two of the many neglected tropical diseases. These parasitic infections are of considerable public health relevance, particularly in resource-limited countries. Moxidectin, a well-established drug in veterinary medicine, is now a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved medication for human onchocerciasis. For the past five years, this medication has been under clinical trials to evaluate its efficacy and safetiness in other helminthic infections. Moxidectin might complement the already existing treatment and control of soil-transmitted helminthiasis (STH). Therefore, we systematically reviewed existing human interventional studies to evaluate the efficacy and safety of this medication when administered alone or in combination with other antiparasitic medications in order to achieve a cure.
