Abstract

Creeping eruption is an infection of the skin due to active penetration and migration of nematode larvae to the epidermis of the skin. Although clinically, this disease is easy to treat; the incidence of Anthelmintik drug resistance should be considered because reports of Anthelmintik drug resistance have been around since 1957 among livestock.
