| Sumario: | Over the years, there has been extensive research of this parasite and the disease that it causes (haemonchosis), but there has been no major review of published information. The purpose of this Thematic Issue was to review salient aspects of Haemonchus/haemonchosis research. The topics include fundamental areas, such has the evolution, biogeography, genetic diversity, population genetic structure, biochemistry, pathophysiology, ecology and epidemiology of the parasite, and the diagnosis, treatment and management of haemonchosis as well as the interactions between nutrition and infections with H. Contortus and/or related nematodes, as well as immunity to H. Contortus. The emergence of anthelmintic resistance in H. Contortus and related nematodes necessitates an understanding of its mechanisms, at the molecular level, and requires the development of new interventions, which is why this Thematic Issue also covers key aspects of drug discovery, vaccine development and the latest information on the pharmacology of anthelmintics and improved approaches for the control of haemonchosis. The advent of molecular and bioinformatics technologies have led to major progress, which is why new information on the genome and transcriptome of H. Contortus has been reviewed, providing new insights into the genome structure, organization, developmental and reproductive biology, biochemistry, biological pathways, anthelmintic resistance and gene functions. |
