During 2004-2007 the efficacy of benzimidazole type drugs was studied on 14 sheep farms in the Czech Republic. The study was based on the evaluation of faecal egg count reduction test (FECRT), egg hatch test (EHT), and larval development test (LDT). The prevalence of benzimidazole resistance on farms ranged from 25% to 98%; however, the infection intensity was typically low to moderate on most of the farms. Based of FECRT, resistance was identified on three farms. Resistance was suspected on one of the farms after repeated examination performed the following year.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
