What is the Impact of Albendazole on Epidemiological Trends?
The widespread use of albendazole has led to significant reductions in the prevalence and intensity of parasitic infections in many regions. Studies have shown that MDA programs using albendazole have successfully decreased the burden of soil-transmitted helminths and other parasitic infections, improving public health outcomes. However, the emergence of drug resistance remains a potential concern that requires ongoing surveillance and research.
