What helminth genomes have taught us about parasite evolution [PDF]
Parasitology, 2014 SUMMARYThe genomes of more than 20 helminths have now been sequenced. Here we perform a meta-analysis of all sequenced genomes of nematodes and Platyhelminthes, and attempt to address the question of what are the defining characteristics of helminth genomes.

Molecular detection of a novel Ancylostoma sp. by whole mtDNA sequence from pangolin Manis javanica
Parasites & Vectors, 2022 Background Ancylostoma species are hematophagous parasites that cause chronic hemorrhage in various animals and humans. Pangolins, also known as scaly anteaters, are mammals that live in soil environments where they are readily exposed to soil-borne ...

WormBase ParaSite − a comprehensive resource for helminth genomics
Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 2017 The number of publicly available parasitic worm genome sequences has increased dramatically in the past three years, and research interest in helminth functional genomics is now quickly gathering pace in response to the foundation that has been laid by these collective efforts.

Characterization of the Schistosoma transcriptome opens up the world of helminth genomics. [PDF]
Genome biology, 2003 Among the metazoan parasites that cause debilitating disease in man, schistosomes are the first group for which near-complete transcriptome complements have been described. This new genomic information will have an enormous impact on all future investigations into the biology, pathogenesis and control of schistosomiasis.

The Calicophoron daubneyi genome provides new insight into mechanisms of feeding, eggshell synthesis and parasite-microbe interactions. [PDF]
BMC BiolBackground The rumen fluke, Calicophoron daubneyi, is the major paramphistome species infecting ruminants within Europe. Adult flukes reside within the rumen where they are in direct contact with a unique collection of microorganisms. Here, we report a 1.

The mitochondrial genome of Paragonimus westermani (Kerbert, 1878), the Indian isolate of the lung fluke representative of the family Paragonimidae (Trematoda) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2014 Among helminth parasites, Paragonimus (zoonotic lung fluke) gains considerable importance from veterinary and medical points of view because of its diversified effect on its host.

Small, EarlyView.This review explores the potential of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and nanotechnology for the treatment of gastrointestinal infections. It analyzes bacterial resistance mechanisms, the antimicrobial actions of AMPs, and advances in nanocarriers, such as lipid‐based, polymeric, metallic, and mesoporous silica systems, that enhance peptide protection ...
