N2 - Sheep that are highly resistant to parasitic nematodes can suffer bad diarrhoea due to the inflammation associated with rejection of ingested larvae from pasture. We hypothesised that challenging parasite-resistant sheep indoors with nematode larvae would result in reduced faecal dry matter, and that faecal dry matter would be lowest in sheep challenged with a mixture of Trichostrongylus colubriformis and Teladorsagia circumcincta compared to those challenged with either species alone. We also hypothesised that inflammatory cells and serum antibodies and interleukin-5 would be highest in those sheep that received the mixed larval challenge. We found that faecal dry matter was reduced (P
