Funded Activity Summary

Targeted drug discovery against blood-feeding parasite nematodes of animals. This project aims to identify more sustainable control strategies of nematode parasites of livestock, which cost more than 400 million yearly to the Australian wool and meat industry. The project expects to identify novel nematicides and generate knowledge of the parasite biology using a combination of high-throughput drug discovery screens with cutting-edge OMICs approaches to target a key molecular pathway of importance to the survival of nematodes, namely their blood-feeding behaviour. Expected outcomes of this project include a likely enhancement of international efforts in controlling these parasites as well as nematicides commercialisation. This should provide significant benefits to agricultural producers in Australia and worldwide.
