Gender-Associated Genes in Filarial Nematodes Are Important for Reproduction and Potential Intervention Targets
25 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A better understanding of reproductive processes in parasitic nematodes may lead to development of new anthelmintics and control strategies for combating disabling and disfiguring neglected tropical diseases such as lymphatic filariasis and onchocerciasis. Transcriptomatic analysis has provided important new insights into mechanisms of reproduction and development in other invertebrates. We have...
