Abstract excerpt
Resistance to macrocyclic lactones in the strongylid parasite of sheep, Haemonchus contortus, is associated with specific alleles of several genes, including those encoding ligand-gated chloride-channels. While previous functional studies of the ion-channels encoded by these resistant alleles have revealed alterations in ligand binding and response to the anthelmintics, we still do not know how these alleles are...
