ABSTRACT

The egg development test is a useful in vitro tool to detect albendazole (ABZ) resistance in Fasciola hepatica. ABZ is the only flukicidal compound with ovicidal activity. The described test is based on the ABZ capacity to affect parasite egg development and hatching in susceptible parasites, while this effect is lost in ABZ-resistant liver fluke isolates. Among many advantages, it is noted that the diagnostic test can be performed on eggs isolated from fecal samples (sheep and cattle), avoiding the sacrifice of animals necessary in controlled efficacy trials. The egg development test described here is a simple, inexpensive, and accessible method, previously employed for diagnosis of ABZ resistance in F. hepatica.
