Two strains of Oeosphagostomum spp., consisting of both O. quadrispinulatum and O. dentatum, were subjected to a controlled in vivo assay for resistance of levamisole and pyrantel by comparison with susceptible isolates. One strain (LEM) was recently isolated from a commercial herd, where sows showed high numbers of strongyle eggs in faeces within 2 weeks of farrowing and following treatment with levamisole at the manufacturer''s recommended dose rate 1 week before farrowing. Levamisole had been used as the sole anthelmitic for treatment for at least 7 years on this farm. Treatment with pyrantel in this herd also indicated cross-resistance to this drug. A mixed population of O. quadrispinulatum and O. dentatum of this strain was subjected to controlled in vivo assays. Faecal egg count reduction (FECR) was found to be -573.3% (P > 0.05) and worm count reductions (WCR) of O. quadrispinultum and O. dentatum were estimated as 44.5% (P > 0.05) and 96.4% (P < 0.001), respectively. Treatment with pyrantel showed that cross-resistance existed to this drug, with FECR of 10.4% (P > 0.05) and WCR of 64.5% (P > 0.05) and 90.7% (P < 0.05) for O. quadrispinulatum and O. dentatum, respectively. Another strain (VJ) was isolated from another commercial pig herd, which was dosed with pyrantel citrate four times a year for at least 8 years. This strain showed resistance to pyrantel, with FECR of 43.8% (P > 0.05) and WCR of 65.9% (P > 0.05) and 49.4% (P > 0.05) for O. quadrispinulatum and O. dentatum, respectively. However, both species were susceptible to levamisole. Our results suggested that levamisole gave rise to levamisole resistance and automatically conferred resistance to pyrantel, whereas selection with pyrantel only resulted in resistance to this drug alone. These findings are discussed in relation to the location of the two species of Oesophagostomum in the large intestine of pigs and the mode of action of this class of anthelmintics.
