Abstract excerpt
In some trichostrongyloid nematodes, the early stages of ivermectin (IVM) resistance have been characterized by a shift in allele frequency and reduced polymorphism at loci of P-glycoprotein genes, glutamate-gated chloride channel genes and gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor genes. Mass treatment with IVM is an integral component of the onchocerciasis control programmes. Genetic variation of an Onchocerca volvulus...
