Out now! Jenni McIntyre's latest paper describing moxidectin use on Scottish sheep farms and highlighting need for better product labelling. This was a project that Jenni designed and won her own funding for (Steve Bishop Award). Great effort Jenni and thanks to everyone involved

And congratulations to Jenni for winning best talk at the UoG Computational Biology Conference! 🤩

Excellent pre-viva talk by Alistair Antonopoulos on his development of molecular assays for levamisole resistance in parasitic worms - best of luck for next Friday!

Congratulations to the newly minted Dr Antonopoulos for passing his PhD viva on Friday! Thanks to external examiner Prof Jane Hodgkinson Jane Hodgkinson, internal examiner Prof Willie Weir VDS GlasgowVetSchool and convenor Dr Rob Coultous Robert Coultous

Super talk today by visiting PhD student Emily Francis from Prof Jan Slapeta lab at University of Sydney. Neat use of nemabiome sequencing for AR surveillance in domestic and wild ruminants - paper coming soon!

3 days to go! Looking forward to SPPIRIT's #ECR Symposium, taking place at The Moredun Foundation on 26 Sept. Excellent line up of speakers and posters by #parasitologists from across Scotland. Follow us for updates on the day #sppiritmeet

Late to the party, but big thanks to everyone involved in this work - a real team effort, but particularly stellar work (as ever) by Stephen Doyle - really delighted to have been part of this.

A new study has mapped the genes linked to drug resistance in the parasitic worm 𝘏𝘢𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘶𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘴 for the first time 🪱💉 Find out more ⤵️ sanger.ac.uk/news_item/resi…

Really pleased with our paper in Int J Parasitol from Janneke Wit and great group of collaborators on detecting genomic signatures of benzimidazole drug selection by genome-wide scanning of natural field populations of Haemonchus contortus doi.org/10.1016/j.ijpa…

New research a welcome boost for tackling drug resistance in parasitic worms that infect livestock. Helminth infection is responsible for over €600 million in production losses in Europe each year Farmers Weekly fwi.co.uk/livestock/heal…

Go Sam! Here Sam is showing the latest work from his PhD - a metabolomic analysis of ivermectin treatment in a resistant isolate of Haemonchus contortus
