The management and control of parasites often hinges on the use of chemicals and drugs, such as the acaricides used against ticks and the trypanocides used against tsetse-transmitted trypanosomosis in Africa. However, resistance to many of the compounds currently in use is spreading, thus making parasite management and control increasingly challenging. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is stepping up its activities against parasite resistance in livestock, and on 9-10 November 2021 it held a virtual expert consultation on the sustainable management of parasites in livestock challenged by the global emergence of resistance. The consultation was jointly organized by the FAO teams working on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and the Programme Against African Trypanosomosis (PAAT) and focused on acaricide resistance and trypanocidal drug resistance. Participants discussed various aspects of the problem, including the mechanisms of resistance, drivers, detection, surveillance, management and control. Experts from different institutions were involved, including international organizations, research and academic establishments, veterinary authorities from endemic countries, the private sector and resource partners.
