Multiple anthelmintic drug resistant Ancylostoma caninum in foxhounds.

ABSTRACT: Ancylostoma caninum is the most common and important gastrointestinal nematode of dogs in the United States. Despite recent reports of A. caninum isolates resistant to all classes of anthelmintics, little is known about the frequency and extent of this anthelmintic resistance. The study aim was to evaluate the efficacy of three commercial anthelmintic products in the treatment of foxhound dogs with a history of persistent A. caninum infections. In the first phase of this study, 35 foxhounds were randomly divided into three treatment groups: moxidectin/imidacloprid (MI), pyrantel pamoate/febantel/praziquantel (PFP), and emodepside/praziquantel (EP). Fecal samples were collected on day 0, 11, and 33 post-treatment (PT), and hookworm eggs were quantified using the mini-FLOTAC technique with a
