Low-cost molecular methods to characterise gastrointestinal nematode co-infections of goats in Africa

Abstract Background Veterinary diagnostics aid intervention strategies, track zoonoses, and direct selective breeding programs in livestock. In ruminants, gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) parasites are a major cause of production losses, but morphologically similar species limit our understanding of...
