BEVA primary care clinical guidelines: Equine parasite control.

Abstract: There is a lack of consensus on how best to balance our need to minimise the risk of parasite-associated disease in the individual horse, with the need to limit the use of anthelmintics in the population to preserve their efficacy through delaying further development of resistance. Objective: To develop evidence-based guidelines utilising a modified GRADE framework. Methods: A panel of veterinary scientists with relevant expertise and experience was convened. Relevant research questions were identified and developed with associated search terms being defined. Evidence in the veterinary literature was evaluated using the GRADE evidence-to-decision framework. Literature searches were performed utilising CAB abstracts and PubMed. Where there was insufficient evidence to answer the research question the panel developed practical guidance based on their collective knowledge and experience. Results: Search results are presented, and recommendation or practical guidance were made in response to 37 clinically relevant questions relating to the use of anthelmintics in horses. Conclusions: There was insufficient evidence to answer many of the questions with any degree of certainty and practical guidance frequently had to be based upon extrapolation of relevant information and the panel members' collective experience and opinions. Conclusions: Equine parasite control practices and current recommendations have a weak evidence base. These guidelines highlight changes in equine parasite control that should be considered to reduce the threat of parasite-associated disease and delay the development of further anthelmintic resistance.

Summary

This research summary has been generated with artificial intelligence and may contain errors and omissions. Refer to the original study to confirm details provided. Submit correction.

This research article is about the creation of evidence-based guidelines for equine parasite control. Lack of agreement and understanding in the field motivated the study, which aims to balance minimizing risk of disease in horses with limiting some treatments to prevent resistance from developing.

Research Methodology

  • The researchers gathered a panel of scientists specializing in veterinary medicine to create a guide for parasite control in horses based on available evidence and practical knowledge of the professionals.
  • The panel defined and developed relevant research questions, as well as their associated search terms.
  • They used the GRADE evidence-to-decision framework to evaluate the evidence found, filtering their options via both CAB abstracts and PubMed.
  • Where there was insufficient evidence to conclusively answer the research question, the panel members supplemented with practical guidance drawn from their own knowledge and experience.

Research Findings

  • The team distilled their data into a set of observations and recommendations responding to 37 clinically relevant questions related to the utilization of anthelmintics (anti-parasitic drugs) in horses.
  • Many of the questions had insufficient evidence for a definitive answer, so practical guidance often relied on extrapolation of relevant information and the panel’s collective experience and opinion.

Research Conclusions

  • The research concluded that current practices and recommendations for equine parasite control are based on a weak evidence base.
  • The guidelines produced by this research emphasize changes to equine parasite control practices that should be considered, including reducing the risk of parasite-associated disease and delaying the development of anthelmintic resistance.
