Because tapeworm infestations are difficult to detect in feces, veterinarians\u2019 preferred testing method has been blood testing. But that could be changing. A new, reliable saliva test is now making its appearance on European markets and could be available in the United States in 2017, researchers said.<\/p>\n<p>To read more go this story <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehorse.com\/articles\/38661\/researchers-develop-saliva-based-equine-tapeworm-test\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">click here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The level of resistance in tapeworms to current anthelmintics is unknown. \u201cAlthough resistance has yet to be documented for tapeworms, the risk is significantly increased with continued \u2018blanket\u2019 use of anti-tapeworm anthelmintics,\u201d said Austin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[58,14,40,31],"tags":[649,648,642,644,650,646,643,647,645],"class_list":["post-7287","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-equine-diseases","category-industry","category-thehorse","category-veterinary-medicine","tag-austin-davis-biologics-ltd","tag-corrine-austin-phd","tag-deworming-internal-parasites","tag-deworming-medications","tag-equine-helminths","tag-equine-tapeworm","tag-parasite-resistance","tag-saliva-test","tag-united-kingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ebarrelracing.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7287","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ebarrelracing.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ebarrelracing.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ebarrelracing.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ebarrelracing.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7287"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.ebarrelracing.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7287\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8148,"href":"https:\/\/www.ebarrelracing.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7287\/revisions\/8148"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ebarrelracing.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7287"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ebarrelracing.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7287"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ebarrelracing.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7287"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
