an appropriate diagnostic method (e.g. Faecal Egg Count Reduction Test
(FECRT)). Where the results of the test(s) strongly suggest resistance to a
particular anthelmintic, an anthelmintic belonging to another pharmacological

Confirmed resistance should be reported to the marketing authorisation holder
or to the competent authorities.
