The mechanisms of action of antiprotozoal and anthelmintic drugs in man.
The mechanisms of action of antiprotozoal and anthelmintic drugs are reviewed according to: (1) drugs interfering with metabolic processes; (2) drugs interfering with reproduction and larval physiology; and (3) drugs interfering with neuromuscular physiology of parasites.
