Understanding anthelmintic resistance: the need for genomics and genetics.
International journal for parasitology - 1 Oct 2006

Abstract excerpt
Anthelmintic resistance is a major problem for the control of many parasitic nematode species and has become a major constraint to livestock production in many parts of the world. In spite of its increasing importance, there is still a poor understanding of the molecular and genetic basis of resistance. It is unclear which mutations contribute most to the resistance phenotype and how resistance alleles arise, are...
