Drug resistance in parasitic worms poses a serious threat to global efforts to limit the significant health and economic impacts they have on people, pets and livestock. Researchers at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, the University of Glasgow and the Moredun Research Institute have used genetic crosses, drug selection and whole genome sequencing to map the genes linked to drug resistance of the parasitic worm, Haemonchus contortus, for the first time.
