Bacterial communities in nematode-resistant sheep and the associated microbiome of Trichostrongylus colubriformis

Parasitic worms are a major problem that affects the sheep industry worldwide. In recent times, we have been intrigued by the possibility that the host microbiome in the gastrointestinal tract may contribute to resistance and susceptibility to the disease. In parallel, we identified the associated microbiome of Trichostrongylus colubriformis.

寄生蠕虫是全球养羊产业面临的主要问题。近年来，我们对胃肠道宿主微生物组（microbiome）可能影响宿主对该疾病的抗性与易感性这一可能性产生了浓厚兴趣。与此同时，我们完成了管状毛圆线虫（Trichostrongylus colubriformis）的相关微生物组的鉴定工作。
