The paper develops and validates a multilocus sequence typing scheme for Fasciola hepatica using next-generation sequencing to study population genetic structure across UK cattle and sheep populations.

This study analyzes genetic structure in Fasciola hepatica populations across UK ruminants using mt-ND1 and mt-COX1 loci, finding limited genetic structure and high gene flow.

This paper develops a qPCR assay and tremabiome deep amplicon sequencing method to improve fluke species identification in livestock, finding high co-infection rates and improved sensitivity compared to traditional methods.

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