The polymerase chain reaction was used to amplify fragments comprising the known reading frame of the nematode nicotinic acetylcholine alpha-subunit gene tar-1. Sequences were derived from DNA prepared from bulk collections of worms and from individual male and female Trichostrongylus colubriformis. In each case a levamisole-resistant (BCk) and a drug susceptible population were examined. Although several...
