The book is a collection of information regarding advancement in the field of detection and mitigation strategies of antiparasitic drug resistance. The book mainly emphasizes regarding the mechanism and detection of anthelmintic, acaricidal and antiprotozoal drug resistance, incorporating important conventional and modern molecular techniques elaborately in such a way that even budding researches can also understand and implement it in their research work. The book has also incorporated some important and useful alternative traditional control strategies for parasites which would be helpful in dealing with antiparasitic resistance. This book would prove to be a milestone for veterinary students especially those who are involved in research (M.V.Sc. and Ph.D.), faculty of veterinary colleges as well as scientists who have interest in carrying out research in field of antiparasitic drug resistance.
