Whole-genome reference of Dirofilaria immitis from Australia to determine single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with macrocyclic lactone resistance in the USA

For the past 30 years, chemoprophylaxis with macrocyclic lactone (ML) anthelmintics has been the primary strategy for canine heartworm (Dirofilaria immitis) control in both the USA and Australia.
