Diversity of hirudin and hirudin-like factor genes in the North-African medicinal leech, Hirudo troctina.

Parasitology research - 14 Nov 2024

Ahmed Raja Ben, Abilov Amina, Müller Christian

Abstract excerpt

Medicinal leeches of the genus Hirudo inhabit large areas of the Palaearctic realm. The distribution range of Hirudo troctina includes the southern Iberian peninsula and the northwestern regions of Africa. H. troctina is used for medical purposes, but only very little is known about the components of its salivary gland secretion. Hirudins, bivalent inhibitors of thrombin, are probably the best known leech-derived...
