New antiprotozoal and antiarthropod drugs Nuevos medicamentos antiprotozoarios y antiartropodos

Abstract

Few developments have taken place in this area, except for the use of trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole for isosporosis and spiramycin for cryptosporidiosis in immune suppressed patients. For parasitic arthropods, crotamiton and piretoids have been helpful in treating scabies and pediculosis, respectively.
