Low-cost molecular methods to characterise gastrointestinal nematode co-infections of goats in Africa

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Veterinary diagnostics aid intervention strategies, track zoonoses, and direct selective breeding programs in livestock. In ruminants, gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) parasites are a major cause of production losses, but morphologically similar species limit our understanding of how specific GIN co-infections impact health in resource-limited settings. To estimate the presence and relative abundance...
