Abamectin (avermectin) is a natural fermentation product of Streptomyces avermitilis and is widely used as a pesticide. Recently, it has been used as an antiparasitic agent. This study aims at assessing the impact of abamectin on hamsters infected with Schistosoma mansoni. Parasitological, histopathological parameters, glycolytic enzymes, liver function enzymes and cytokines were assessed in an infected hamster model. The data indicated that a significant decrease in the number of worms in Abamectin treated group as well as in the number of mature and live ova in the treated group. Also, treatment of the infected hamster with Abamectin recorded no significant difference in all glycolytic enzymes (PK, GPI and HK). Furthermore, Abamectin recorded no significant difference in the level of LDH, AST and ALT (liver function enzymes) as compared to S. mansoni infected group. In addition, immunization caused a slight decline in granuloma diameter, an increase in the immunoglobulins and cytokines. Also, histopathological results showed that Abamectin caused multinucleated histolytic inflammatory giant cell with cytoplasmic engulfed foreign bilharzial pigment in the liver tissue without viable bilharzial egg. In conclusion, the present data indicated that significant decline of parasitological parameters and no side effects of most parameters compared to the normal healthy control group.
