Resistance to the macrocyclic lactone moxidectin is mediated in part by membrane transporter P-glycoproteins: Implications for control of drug resistant parasitic nematodes

Our objective was to determine if the resistance mechanism to moxidectin (MOX) is similar of that to ivermectin (IVM) and involves P-glycoproteins (PGPs). Several Caenorhabditis elegans strains were used: an IVM and MOX sensitive strain, 13 PGP deletion strains and the IVM-R strain which shows synt...
