What is AR?

Anthelmintic resistance (AR) is the heritable ability of the parasite to tolerate a normally effective dose of an anthelmintic. The parasite is considered resistant if it survives exposure to the standard recommended dose of the anthelmintic and the ability to survive is passed on to its offspring.

抗蠕虫药耐药性（AR）是指寄生虫对通常有效的抗蠕虫药耐受的遗传能力。当寄生虫能够耐受标准推荐剂量的抗蠕虫药并使其生存能力遗传给后代时，则认为其具有耐药性。
