Competing Interests
I have read the journal's policy and have the following conflicts: LR and JB authors are currently under the employment of Novartis Animal Health, which provided funds and equipment to conduct part of the studies and where they receive salary, benefits and stock. This does not alter our adherence to all PLoS Pathogens policies on sharing data and materials. Monepantel has been developed at Novartis Animal Health. The use of AADs for veterinary purposes is patented (WO2002049641).
