Haemonchus
contortus
|
NEMBASE
|
Haemonchus contortus is also known as the
barber's pole worm of sheep. It is a blood feeding
nematode, and is a major pathogen of sheep flocks
worldwide.
|
ESTs are being sequenced in Edinburgh in
collaboration with David Knox (Moredun Institute;
libraries), Doug Jasmer (WA, USA; libraries) and
the Pathogen Sequencing Unit at the Sanger
Institute.

|
Teladorsagia
circumcincta
|
NEMBASE
|
T. circumcincta (also previously called
Ostertagia circumcincta) is a parasite of
sheep of economic importance to UK agriculture.
|
ESTs are being sequenced in Edinburgh in
collaboration with David Knox (Moredun Institute;
libraries), and the Pathogen Sequencing Unit at the
Sanger Institute.

Necator
americanus
|
NEMBASE
an analysis of
the first set of ESTs published is available
here
|
Necator americanus is one of the human
hookworms, which infect an estimated one billion
prople worldwide. It is a blood-feeder and is
responsible for significant morbidity due to
anaemia, and infection can be lethal.
|
ESTs are being sequenced in Edinburgh in
collaboration with David Pritchard (Nottingham;
libraries), and the Pathogen Sequencing Unit at the
Sanger Institute.

|
Nippostrongylus
brasiliensis
|
NEMBASE
|
N. brasiliensis is a rodent parasite that
is used as a model for the study of the immune
resonses to infection.
|
ESTs are being analysed in Edinburgh in
collaboration with Rick Maizels (Edinburgh).
