This is a BBSRC funded project aiming to produce a draft genome of T. circumcincta in order to identify genetic markers.
Teladorsagia circumcincta
Teladorsagia circumcincta is the most economically important parasitic nematode of sheep and goats in temperate regions of the world. Adult worms reside in the abomasum (stomach) and are approximately 1-2cm in length when mature. They are dioescious with eggs passing out of the host in faeces and developing to infective larvae on the pasture. Resistance to all the major anthelmintic classes is common worldwide often leading to failure of treatment and control.
T. circumcincta is a member of the superfamily trichostrongyloidea (Strongylida) and is a useful comparator species for the Haemonchus contortus reference genome.
