| Summary: | Ivermectin is an anti-helminthic drug that works on humans but not on penguins. This short perspective seeks to understand and offers an explanation to why Ivermectin is unsuccessful on penguins (other avian animals, such as eagles, and more), but has succeeded in the human population. The bioinformatics approach can lead to the potential design of novel derivatives that would be exclusively for veterinary use. |
