Ivermectin, ‘Wonder drug’ from Japan: the human use perspective

Ivermectin, the wonder drug / silver bullet of the third world found in a soil sample from Japan, originally produced for animal use, now widely used in many, esp. parasitic infections, but intriguing because mechanism of action not truly understood! despite our broad reliance on it, but appears to alter molecular biology of the microcritter so that it is less evasive of immune system, thus hard for it to develop drug resistance. …SO we hope based not on data but perversely,on ignorance.
