Article Synopsis
- - Mixed gastrointestinal nematode infections in small ruminants can lead to significant financial losses, and identifying the species through morphology of larvae is time-consuming and requires expertise.
- - A new method using deep amplicon sequencing of the ITS-2 rDNA locus from first-stage larvae speeds up the process and reduces labor while minimizing misidentification risks.
- - The study found that larval recovery rates were significantly lower using traditional methods compared to sequencing, and it showed a disparity in identifying certain species, suggesting that sequencing may provide more accurate results.
