Abstract excerpt
We have used a mitochondrial marker to explore the population genetics of an economically important parasite of sheep, Teladorsagia. We examined diversity within and between parasites from three very different host populations, as well as within and between individual hosts. One of our study populations, the Soay sheep on Hirta, St Kilda, is unusually isolated with no sheep having been introduced to the island...
