Functional characterization of a novel gene, Hc-dhs-28 and its role in protecting the host after Haemonchus contortus infection through regulation of diapause formation.

In conclusion, Hc-DHS-28 is most likely involved in the peroxisome fatty acid β-oxidation as the third 3-hydroxyacyl CoA dehydrogenase to regulate the production of diapause-related pheromones, and then influence the formation of diapause in H. contortus.
