Abstract
Anthelmintic resistance is a major problem affecting sheep nematode control; however, chemical treatments will always be a likely routine part of any parasite control program. The present paper, with the aim of minimising the selection pressure for worsening anthelmintic resistance, outlines important practical and strategic aspects of planning the anthelmintic component of an integrated approach to sheep worm management.
