Genetic variability following selection of Haemonchus contortus with anthelmintics.
Trends in parasitology - 1 Sept 2001

Abstract excerpt
Genetic diversity in nematodes leads to variation in response to anthelmintics. Haemonchus contortus shows enormous genetic diversity, allowing anthelmintic resistance alleles to be rapidly selected. Anthelmintic resistance is now a widespread problem, especially in H. contortus. Here, I compare the genes involved in anthelmintic resistance in H. contortus with those that confer susceptibility or resistance on...
