Full abstract
In this review of ivermectin resistance, Wesley Shoop discusses the definition of resistance, catalogs all known cases of ivermectin resistance, argues that overmectins and milbemycins belong in the same action family, discusses the possibility of resistance in the filariae, and suggests that detection of ivermectin resistance is the area where future research is most needed.
