Abstract
The nucleotide sequence of the second internal transcribed spacer (ITS -2) was determined for three populations of the parasitic nematode Tri chostrongylus colubriformis which differed in their susceptibility to benzimidazole anthelmintics and/or in their geographical origin. No in traspecific variation was found in the ITS-2 sequence, indicating that this region of rDNA is inadequate to discriminate between resistant a nd susceptible populations of T. colubriformis, but it may prove usefu l for distinguishing between species of Trichostrongylus.
