Abstract excerpt
Resistance to antimitotic chemotherapeutics in pathogenic nematodes, fungi and mammalian cells is closely associated with structural changes in cytoskeletal beta-tubulin. We investigated the possibility of using the well-characterised free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans as a model for studying the mechanism of resistance against benzimidazole (BZ) drugs in the parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus....
