Harnessing Plant-Derived Terpenoids for Novel Approaches in Combating Bacterial and Parasite Infections in Veterinary and Agricultural Settings.

ABSTRACT: The rising resistance to conventional antimicrobial therapies in veterinary contexts poses a formidable challenge. While various innovative treatment strategies for pathogenic infections have emerged, their success still needs to be improved, warranting continued research. Recent investigations into natural products as potential sources for biologically active therapeutics have gained traction. Phytochemicals present a promising alternative in combating a spectrum of pathogens, including bacteria, fungi and parasites. One such class of phytochemicals with mounting potential is the structurally diverse terpenes. These chemicals contribute to plants' characteristic odour and medicinal effects and have been widely investigated in the scientific literature for their exceptional antibacterial a
