Effect of host immunosuppression on response to infection with 'Haemonchus contortus'

Natasha Morley; Steve W Walkden-Brown

Abstract

The host immune response is strongly implicated in the pathogenesis of infection of sheep with the "scour worms" 'Trichostrongylus colubriformis' and 'Teladorsagia circumcincta' as determined by an experimental model enabling separation of the effects of parasitism and immunosuppression. We aimed to clarify the role of the immune response in the pathogenesis of infection by the more damaging haematophagous nematode 'Haemonchus contortus' (Hc) using the same experimental model.
