Declarations

:

: Collection of pig faecal samples from which <i>Ascaris suum</i> eggs were harvested and cultured was carried out as part of the project “The role of <i>Ascaris</i> β-tubulin isotypes in the emergence of anthelmintic resistance” approved by the University of Surrey Ethics Committee (UEC 2019 084). Written informed consent was obtained from farmers providing faeces from their pigs. Adult <i>Ascaris</i> from Trento and Bunawan in the Philippines were collected from the intestines of pigs post-slaughter as part of the “Zoonotic transmission of intestinal parasites: Implications for control and elimination” study []. Ethical approval for this study was given by the University of Surrey Ethics Committee (UEC 2019 049), University of Philippines Manila Research Ethics Board (UPMREB 2019–084–01) and the Animal Care and Use Committee of University of Philippines Los Baños (CAS-2018–020). The study also conformed with the ethics and good practice of the Animal Welfare and Ethical Review Board of the University of Surrey (OUT036). <i>Ascaris</i> samples from Hungary were obtained from the intestines of pigs by an official veterinarian from abattoirs in Hungary post-slaughter. Information on ethical considerations for other <i>Ascaris</i> DNA samples used can be found in the original published studies (see references in Table ).
