Single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with benzimidazole resistance of the β-tubulin isotype 1 gene in Ascaris lumbricoides isolated in South Africa
Background: Ascariasis is a parasitic infection caused by Ascaris lumbricoides and infects over 1.2 billion people worldwide. Benzimidazole (BZ) drugs remain the standard treatment in large-scale deworming programs globally. The prevalence of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) in the β-tubulin g...
