Genomes of trombidid mites reveal novel predicted allergens and laterally-transferred genes associated with secondary metabolism

2018-02-02

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Trombidid mites have a unique lifecycle in which only the larval stage is ectoparasitic. In the superfamily Trombiculoidea (“chiggers”), the larvae feed preferentially on vertebrates, including humans. Species in the genus Leptotrombidium are vectors of a potentially fatal bacterial infection, scrub typhus, which affects 1 million people annually. Moreover, chiggers can cause pruritic dermati...
