Resistance of nematode eggs to the ovicidal activity of benzimidazoles.
Eggs of benzimidazole-resistant Haemonchus contortus and Trichostrongylus colubriformis are resistant to the ovicidal activity of benzimidazoles. The possiblity is raised of using this as a simple screen for detection of resistance in nematodes of domesticated animals.
