A transcriptomic analysis of Echinococcus granulosus larval stages: implications for parasite biology and host adaptation.

A transcriptomic analysis of Echinococcus granulosus larval stages: implications for parasite biology and host adaptation.

The cestode Echinococcus granulosus--the agent of cystic echinococcosis, a zoonosis affecting humans and domestic animals worldwide--is an excellent model for the study of host-parasite cross-talk that interfaces with two mammalian hosts. To develop the molecular analysis of these interactions, we c...
