Editor’s summary
In the present study, the mitochondrial (mt) genome of Protostrongylus rufescens (from sheep) was amplified from a single adult worm by long-PCR, sequenced using 454-technology and annotated using bioinformatic tools. The mt genome determined herein provides a source of markers for future investigations of P. rufescens and other lungworms.

Editor’s summary
This study provides the first evidence of macrocyclic lactone resistance in Haemonchus contortus in alpacas in Australia. Based on the extent of anthelmintic resistance in sheep nematodes in Australia, veterinarians and alpaca owners should be encouraged to implement integrated parasite management strategies to improve nematode control in alpacas.
