Lentiviral transduction facilitates RNA interference in the nematode parasite Nippostrongylus brasiliensis.

Animal-parasitic nematodes have thus far been largely refractory to genetic manipulation, and methods employed to effect RNA interference (RNAi) have been ineffective or inconsistent in most cases. We describe here a new approach for genetic manipulation of Nippostrongylus brasiliensis, a widely use...
