The paper identifies genetic variants in the bovine MRC1 gene, analyzes their impact on receptor expression, and explores their potential role in bovine tuberculosis resistance.

The paper presents a high-quality, chromosome-scale genome assembly of Haemonchus contortus using long-read sequencing, revealing genetic diversity and transcriptional regulation.

The paper compares the genetic diversity of Theileria annulata in cattle and water buffalo in Pakistan, finding higher diversity in cattle-derived populations.

The paper develops a deep amplicon sequencing method to quantify piroplasm species proportions in co-infections and introduces the concept of a 'haemoprotobiome'.

The paper identifies the F200Y mutation as a common benzimidazole resistance mutation in Haemonchus contortus and H. placei in buffalo and cattle, showing multiple emergence events in H. contortus and a single emergence in H. placei.
