Genome of <i>Rhodnius prolixus</i> , an insect vector of Chagas disease, reveals unique adaptations to hematophagy and parasite infection

16 Nov 2015

Abstract excerpt

Rhodnius prolixus not only has served as a model organism for the study of insect physiology, but also is a major vector of Chagas disease, an illness that affects approximately seven million people worldwide. We sequenced the genome of R. prolixus, generated assembled sequences covering 95% of the genome (∼ 702 Mb), including 15,456 putative protein-coding genes, and completed comprehensive genomic analyses of...
