12 Sept 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Protostrongylus rufescens is a metastrongyloid nematode of small ruminants, such as sheep and goats, causing protostrongylosis. In spite of its importance, the ecology and epidemiology of this parasite are not entirely understood. In addition, genetic data are scant for P. rufescens and related metastrongyloids. METHODS: The mt genome was amplified from a single adult worm of P. rufescens (from sheep)...
