Characterisation of gut microbiome of (i) sheep experimentally infected with the parasitic nematode Teladorsagia circumcincta, i.e. the primary cause of parasitic gastroenteritis in small ruminants in the UK; (ii) sheep immunised against T. circumcincta with an effective sub-unit vaccine developed by collaborators at the MRI; and (iii) immunologically naïve, uninfected control sheep.
