Plain-English summary
Veterinary care is increasingly focusing on personalized treatment, especially when it comes to managing parasites in pets. As concerns grow about parasites becoming resistant to treatments, testing to identify and monitor these infections is becoming more important. However, there are still challenges to address and questions about how best to incorporate these tests into regular veterinary care. Overall, the goal is to improve the effectiveness of parasite management for pets.
Abstract
With greater emphasis on contextualised care and growing concern about resistance to parasiticides, testing to diagnose and monitor parasitic infections feels as though it should become an increasingly important part of veterinary care. However, there are obstacles to overcome if it is to do so - and questions to answer about the role it could and should play.
