This project investigates genetic resistance to nematodes in livestock, aiming to improve breeding strategies for disease resistance. It employs a systems biology approach to enhance understanding of host-parasite interactions and develop sustainable control measures.
Nematodes are among the most serious threats to livestock.
They cause disease and death but they also compromise production.
Even a mild infection can cause a relative protein deficiency and reduce weight gain by 25% .
In the UK sheep industry alone, nematode infection costs over 100 million Euros a year .The mainstay of current control measures is anthelmintic treatment but this is threatened by the evolution of drug resistance in parasite populations.
Alternative or supplementary control me…
