Abstract

Hemonchus contortus is the most serious parasite facing small ruminant herds and flocks. Anthelmintic resistance and gastro­intestinal parasitism due to this parasite have been identified as the greatest threats to small ruminant production worldwide (Waller 1997). Critical management areas for control of Hemon­chus include refugia, environment, nutrition, genetics and drugs.
