Abstract excerpt
Molecular techniques are of growing importance in the study of anthelmintic resistance in trichostrongylid worm populations. A knowledge of the genetic determinants of benzimidazole (BZ) resistance has made it possible to construct a molecular tool for genotyping individual worms, in respect of mutation of the beta-tubulin gene responsible for BZ resistance. This tool offers new possibilities in the diagnosis of...
