Resumen
Las malas prácticas en las fincas de pastoreo en cuanto al uso y manejo de los desparasitantes en ovejas ha provocado que el abordaje de la parasitosis sea un problema
en el ámbito mundial. Por esa razón, la Escuela de Medicina Veterinaria de la Universidad Nacional (EMV-UNA), mediante recursos
del Fondo Institucional de Desarrollo Académico (Fida), ejecuta la investigación: “De-
terminación de la prevalencia de resistencia
a benzomidazoles, lactonas macrocíclicas e imidazotiazoles de nematodos gastrointestinales de ovinos de carne de Costa Rica”
Dicha investigación, a cargo de la tesiaria de sexto año de carrera, Isabel Castro,
inició en el 2017 y se extenderá hasta el
2019. Además, el equipo de investigadores
lo integran los veterinarios de la EMV Natalia Soto, especialista en ovinos, y Víctor
Montenegro, parasitólogo, y Bernardo Vargas, genetista.
