	abstract = {The immune response of sheep to nematode parasites involves a   cascade of events beginning with the recognition of nematode antigen,   followed by stimulation of the immune system to elicit the appropriate   cellular response at the gut mucosa and finally the release of products   which promote the elimination of the parasite from the gut. These   processes are examined and deficiencies in the knowledge are   highlighted. The application of the knowledge of the sheeps{\textquoteright} immune   system to the identification of a marker for resistance and   opportunities for the control of nematodes through manipulation of   sheeps{\textquoteright} responsiveness are discussed.     The progress that has been achieved in the experimental breeding of   sheep for nematode resistance is examined. The use of such valuable   scientific resource flocks for studies which advance the understanding   of the immunology of resistance is discussed.    },
