ML resistance in sheep scab mites

Roz Laing, Jenni McIntyre and I have recently been awarded BBSRC funding for a project with Stew Burgess and Al Nisbet and colleagues at the Moredun Research Institute and Jack Hearn at SRUC to study ivermectin resistance in sheep scab mites (Psoroptes ovis), using a combination of bulked segregant analysis and population genomics approaches.
