Cross-resistance phenotypes associated with induction of resistance to isometamidium chloride and quinapyramine sulphate in Trypanosoma congolense by Peregrine, A.S., Kemei, S., Ndoutamia, G.

“…These data therefore confirm the rationale for using isometamidium and diminazene as a "sanative" combination, and indicate that the use of quinapyramine in cattle, sheep and goats is contra-indicated since Development of resistance to the compound results in relatively high levels of cross-resistance to all three anti-trypanosomal compounds recommended for use in these livestock species. Finally, since resistance to diminazene is difficult to induce experimentally with diminazene, and such resistance usually occurs in the field as part of a multiple-resistance phenotype (Peregrine, 1994).…”
