Abstract
The extensive and indiscriminate use of anthelmintics for
control of gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) in small ruminants
had resulted in emergence of anthelmintic resistant nematodes
throughout the world (Waller 1994) and has become a major
practical problem (Taylor et al. 2002). in lndia, among the
various GIN, the development of resistance strains of
Haemonchus contortus was reported in different agro-climatic
Zones (Singh at al. 1992, Gill 1993, grivastava er al. 1995).
However, scanty information is available on the multiple
anthelmintic resistance in abroad (Chandrawathani 2003) and
in lndia (Gill 1996, Swarnkar er al. 1999). The present
communication reports the emergence of a multiple
anthelmintic resistance in gastrointestinal nematodes from
Mecheri sheep in an organized farm in Tamil Nadu
