Mode of Action of Antinematodal Drugs

  • Chapter

Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to describe biochemical or physiological events observed in nematodes exposed to an anthelmintic. Whether these pharmacologically mediated events truly represent a mode of action is difficult to prove, and the action described may represent a secondary event unrelated to the mode of action or it may be part of a series of events involved in the killing process.
