Anthelmintic resistance of horse strongyle nematodes to fenbendazole in Lithuania.

Background: Control of strongyle infections presents a global challenge for horse practitioners due to the development of anthelmintic resistance (AR), however comprehensive information on AR in Lithuania is still lacking. The aim of this study was to assess the current situation of fenbendazole (FBZ) AR in horses at stable level in Lithuania.

Results: Faecal samples from 121 horses from six stables were examined using the Mini-FLOTAC method.
