Abstract excerpt
We compared, some fitness-related traits of benzimidazole resistant (rr) and susceptible (rS, SS) worms of Teladorsagia circumcincta, a gastrointestinal parasite of the small ruminants, under laboratory conditions. PCR was used to determine the genotypes (rr, SS, rS) and the fitness of each was compared within the same strain. There was no significant difference in egg production, development rate from egg to...
