Description
Taynara Gabriele Ribeiro Piano and co-authors test selenium and tellurium compounds against gut worms of farm animals in a 2026 laboratory study. Roundworm infections harm ruminant health, and heavy dewormer use breeds resistant parasites. Three compounds were tested on worm eggs and larvae from sheep and cattle, with cell safety checks alongside.
One selenium compound, diphenyl diselenide, stopped egg hatching best, while the tellurium compound AS-101 killed larvae best in the assays. Pairing the selenium compound with ivermectin gave a mild joint boost. That selenium compound was also gentlest on kidney cells in culture. The results mark a possible new family of worm treatments for livestock.
