Abstract
Controlled anthelmintic tests and faecal egg count reduction tests wer e carried out on natural infections of nematode parasites in sheep on 4 farms in the southern Cape Province. Albendazole, fenbendazole, iver mectin, levamisole, morantel citrate and a combination of albendazole and closantel sodium were tested. Every farm harboured anthelmintic re sistant nematode parasites. Adult as well as immature Teladorsagia spp . were resistant to albendazole and fenbendazole, immature Teladorsagi a spp. to albendazole/closantel, adult and immature Nematodirus spp. t o albendazole/closantel and adult Nematodirus spp. to fenbendazole.
