Worm resistance

[Macsky]

As I understand, there is a lot of resistance to group 1 or ‘white’ wormers, but does resistance to one white wormer, say albendazole, mean there will automatically be resistance to another such as fenbendazole?

Question two, albendazole and rycobendazole are active against adult fluke at increased dose rates, but when worms alone are targeted at the lower rates does this speed up the development of fluke resistance to the drug?

Yes and probably.

Yes and probably.

That's way too short and accurate an answer ---you'll never make it to prime minister
