H. contortus is a member of the superfamily trichostrongyloidea (Strongylida) which contains most of the economically important parasitic nematodes of grazing livestock. These parasites cost the global livestock industry billions of dollars per annum in lost production and drug costs. A common type of clover may be a preventative or palliative for the disease. However, some particular breeds of sheep, such as the Gulf Coast Native from the Southern United States, have been shown to have developed special resistance to H. contortus.

Getting the full genome can help to tackle the problem and understand the resistance mechanism with an ease. Moreover, the genome could now provide a comprehensive understanding of how treatments against parasitic worms work and point to further new treatments and vaccines. By comparing the genome of the barber's pole worm with those of worms that have acquired drug resistance, researchers expect to reveal information about how and why resistance has occurred. Till now, researchers have uncovered essential information in the fight against drug resistance in worms.

“In humans and most vertebrates the duplication events were older so there are fewer duplicated genes still present. Most of the duplicated genes get lost or modified so much that they are no longer recognizable as duplicates over time. In the trout and salmon we can see an earlier stage in the process and many duplicated genes are still present,” said Dr Gary Thorgaard of Washington State University, a co-author of the paper published in the journal Nature Communications.
