Abstract
Haemonchus cantorlus, bloodsucking parasite, occurs in
the abomasal mucosa and its contents in sheep, goats, cattle
and numerous other ruminants, and is cosmopolitan
especially in areas with hot, moist climate (Sood 1981).
Development of anthelmintic resistance to this parasite is a
major problem (Yadav 1990, Uppal et al. 1991, Yadav and
Uppal 1992, Prichard 1994, Singh et al. 1995). Ivermectin,
a GABA agonist acts either at the GABA binding site or
elsewhere on the protein and cause flaccid paralysis of the
worms. This paper provides the information on the efficacy
of ivermectin in fenbendazole resistant H. contortus in sheep
and goats.
