Abstract:
The first of the Feature Review Series published in a recent issue of the New Zealand Veterinary Journal (Vol 49, No. 6, December 2001) has provided a number of well presented and authoritative articles regarding the control of nematodes in sheep. In view of the importance of these papers, it is disappointing, therefore, to find that some of my work should be misrepresented in one of them. I refer to the section relating to "Faecal Egg Counts as a Guide for Drench Use" on Pp 218-9 of the article by Vlassoff et al (2001).
