title: Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based amplification ofhmcp3 andhmcp6 cysteine protease genes ofHaemonchus contortusfrom small ruminants.
abstract: Haemonchus contortusis a haematophagous nematode in small ruminants population and causes anaemia, weakness and mortality especially in young animals. In the present study,hmcp3 partial gene of 836 bp andhmcp6 full length gene of 1041 bp were amplified from the cDNA of Bareilly isolate of adult maleH. contortusby polymerase chain reaction. Further gene characterization and expression studies are warranted to know the immunoprophylactic potential ofhmcp3 andhmcp6 proteins ofH. contortus.
