摘要：

Ivermectin has been on the veterinary market for almost a quarter of a century and has been approved for human use for 18 years. Its use has revolutionized the treatment of nematode and arthropod parasites in animals and has provided hope for the control or even eradication of filariases in humans. Although much remains to be learned about how the drug works and how resistance to it will develop, it has earned the title of 'wonder drug'.
