A chromosome-level assembly of the cat flea genome uncovers rampant gene duplication and genome size plasticity

2020-04-14

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Fleas (Insecta: Siphonaptera) are small flightless parasites of birds and mammals; their blood-feeding can transmit many serious pathogens (i.e. the etiological agents of bubonic plague, endemic and murine typhus). The lack of flea genome assemblies has hindered research, especially comparisons to other disease vectors. Accordingly, we sequenced the genome of the cat flea, Ctenocephalides fel...
