title: Drug resistance in avian coccidia (a review).
abstract: Drug resistance is now recognised as a major cause of the failure of drugs to control coccidiosis in the fowl. In this article, biological, biochemical and genetic aspects of resistance in Eimeria are reviewed and some of the problems that may limit progress in understanding the nature of resistance in coccidia are discussed.
