title: Effects of anthelmintics on Haemonchus contortus (Nematoda: Trichostrongylidae).
abstract: The review summarizes and evaluates recent information about the effects of anthelmintics on Haemonchus contortus. The topic is discussed under the headings effects of drugs on the absorptive surfaces, effects of drugs on metabolism, effects of drugs on the neuromuscular system, effects of drugs on developmental stages, anthelmintic efficacy, and resistant strains. Possible future lines of work are suggested in the conclusions.
