This research demonstrates that a new gel made from edible seaweed (agar-agar) can safely deliver deworming medications to animals while also containing a beneficial fungus that destroys parasite eggs in soil. Tests showed that the deworming drugs piperazine and levamisole did not interfere with the fungus’s ability to grow and reproduce. This combined approach could provide both immediate treatment and long-term prevention of parasitic infections in pets and farm animals.
