Albendazole and mebendazole for Treatment of #Trematode & #Protozoal Infection:
@Buy_Ivermectin1
1. Trematodes (Flukes)
◉#Albendazole:
✔Has limited activity against trematodes.
✔ Sometimes used for Fasciola hepatica (liver fluke), but triclabendazole is the drug of choice.
✔Albendazole may show partial effect in Clonorchis and Paragonimus, but praziquantel remains the mainstay.
◉#Mebendazole
✔Very poor efficacy against trematodes.
✔Rarely, if ever, recommended.
2. Protozoa
◉Albendazole:
More useful here than Mebendazole.
Effective in:
✔Giardia lamblia (alternative to metronidazole/tinidazole)
✔Entamoeba histolytica (limited; not first-line) Trichomonas vaginalis
✔Microsporidiosis (notably in HIV patients)
◉Mebendazole
✔ Very limited or no role in protozoal infections.
✔ Almost exclusively used for intestinal nematodes.

Our team is trying to create a functional #trematode life cycle in the lab! We have fed parasitised #cockles to #Gobbies and we are currently feeding infected Gobbies to Sea bass 🐟 in the hope of obtaining adult trematodes 🪱, restarting the cycle 🤞😅

Our third Collectible #ParasiteCards is out!!
This week we have #Transversotrema -- a #ectoparasitic #trematode that leaves the snail hosts and seeks for fish hosts to develop into an adult underneath fish scales! Check out how adorable they are!!😃
