Abstract excerpt
Resistance to the anthelmintic drug monepantel (Zolvix®) has emerged in parasitic worms infecting sheep and goats. The mechanism of resistance in these cases is unknown. The drug targets nicotinic acetylcholine receptors belonging to the nematode-specific DEG-3 subfamily. We examined the receptor gene, Hco-mptl-1, in a highly Zolvix®-resistant and a -susceptible isolate of the parasitic nematode Haemonchus...
