Abstract:BackgroundA novel way to study the species composition and diversity of nematode parasites in livestock is to perform deep sequencing on composite samples containing a mixture of different species. Herein we describe for the first-time the nematode community structure (nemabiome) inhabiting Swedish sheep and how these are/were affected by host age and recent anthelmintic treatments.MethodsA total of 158 fecal samples were collected (n=35 in 2007 and n=123 in 2013-2016) and cultured from groups of sheep on 61 c… Show more
