Association between response to albendazole treatment and β-tubulin genotype frequencies in soil-transmitted helminths.

Association between response to albendazole treatment and β-tubulin genotype frequencies in soil-transmitted helminths.

Albendazole (ABZ), a benzimidazole (BZ) anthelmintic (AH), is commonly used for treatment of soil-transmitted helminths (STHs). Its regular use increases the possibility that BZ resistance may develop, which, in veterinary nematodes is caused by single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the β-tubuli...
