Avermectin-resistance in gastrointestinal nematodes of Boer goats and Dorper sheep in Switzerland [PDF]
Veterinary Parasitology, 2007 Anthelmintic resistance in gastrointestinal nematodes among small ruminants is widespread in South Africa and Dorper sheep and Boer goats have been imported into Switzerland from this country on a number of occasions. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the occurrence of avermectin (AVM) resistant gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) in these breeds
