Extensive hybridization between pig and human <i>Ascaris</i> identifies a highly interbred species complex infecting humans

2020-04-18

Abstract excerpt

Human ascariasis is a major neglected tropical disease caused by the nematode Ascaris lumbricoides . We report a 296 megabase (Mb) reference quality genome comprised of 17902 protein-coding genes derived from a single, representative Ascaris worm collected from 60 human hosts in Kenyan villages where pig husbandry is rare. Notably, the majority of human isolates (63/68) possessed mitochondrial genomes that clust...
