Billions of livestock, and a third of the current human population, are infected with helminth parasites. In livestock, these helminth infections are accompanied by significant morbidity and mortality, and although anthelmintic drugs are available, t...

The potential toxicity of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has been compared to pathogenic fibres such as asbestos. It is important to test this hypothesis to ascertain safe methods for CNT production, handling and disposal. In this study aspects reported to...
