Population genetic structure of Ascaridia galli re-emerging in non-caged laying hens

    Publication: Contribution to journalJournal articlepeer-review

    Abstract

    Conclusions: The investigated A. galli populations were not strongly differentiated, indicating that they have undergone a genetic bottlenecking and subsequent drift. This supports the view that the investigated farms have been recently colonized, and that new flocks are reinfected upon arrival with a stationary infection.
