Ancient hybridization and introgression of an invadolysin gene in schistosome parasites

2019-02-04

Abstract excerpt

The parasitic blood fluke Schistosoma haematobium causes urogenital schistosomiasis in humans and is a major cause of morbidity and mortality across sub-Saharan Africa. S. haematobium hybridizes with livestock schistosomes, including S. bovis , however the frequency, direction, age and genomic consequences of hybridization are unknown. We sequenced 96 S. haematobium exomes from Niger and the Zanzibar archipela...
