Overview

Neil Sargison is affiliated with the University of Edinburgh in the United Kingdom. Their research primarily spans the fields of Agricultural and Biological Sciences and Veterinary science, with substantial contributions that intersect with Small Animals, Ecology, Parasitology, Agronomy and Crop Science, and Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health.

The central focus of Sargison's work includes topics related to helminth infection and control, parasite biology and host interactions, reproductive physiology in livestock, nematode management and characterization studies, reproductive tract infections research, and vector-borne infectious diseases.

Notable recent publications demonstrate a continuous engagement with parasitology and genomic analysis within veterinary contexts. Selected papers include:

  • "Genomic and transcriptomic variation defines the chromosome-scale assembly of Haemonchus contortus, a model gastrointestinal worm" (2020) in Communications Biology
  • "Genomic landscape of drug response reveals mediators of anthelmintic resistance" (2022) in Cell Reports
  • "Faecal egg counts and nemabiome metabarcoding highlight the genomic complexity of equine cyathostomin communities and provide insight into their dynamics in a Scottish native pony herd" (2022) in International Journal for Parasitology
  • "A 4 year observation of gastrointestinal nematode egg counts, nemabiomes and the benzimidazole resistance genotypes of Teladorsagia circumcincta on a Scottish sheep farm" (2021) in International Journal for Parasitology
  • "Transcriptomic analyses implicate neuronal plasticity and chloride homeostasis in ivermectin resistance and response to treatment in a parasitic nematode" (2022) in PLoS Pathogens

Sargison has frequently published in journals including bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), PLoS ONE, Veterinary Parasitology, SSRN Electronic Journal, and Veterinary Record Case Reports. This pattern highlights an ongoing contribution to both preprint repositories and peer-reviewed veterinary and parasitology journals.

Collaborative efforts feature a series of coauthors such as Umer Chaudhry, Osama Zahid, Lívio Martins Costa, Stephen R. Doyle, and David J. Bartley, reflecting interdisciplinary cooperation within parasitology and veterinary research environments.
