Parasitic nematodes cause a massive worldwide burden on human health along with loss of livestock and agriculture productivity. Anthelmintics have been widely successful in treating parasitic nematodes. However, resistance is increasing, little known about the molecular genetic causes for most these drugs. The free-living roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans provides tractable model to identify genes that underlie resistance. Unlike nematodes, C. easy maintain laboratory, has complete well...
Abstract Parasitic nematodes cause a massive worldwide burden on human health along with loss of livestock and agriculture productivity. Anthelmintics have been widely successful in treating parasitic nematodes. However, resistance is increasing, little known about the molecular genetic causes resistance. The free-living roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans provides tractable model to identify genes that underlie Unlike nematodes, C. easy maintain laboratory, has complete well annotated genome,...
