Identification and characterization of cuticular collagens in the human filarial parasite Onchocerca volvulus
Cuticular collagen is a major structural protein of nematode cuticles encoded by a large multigene family. The cuticle of nematode parasites provides a barrier between the worm and its hosts. This study is focused on the collagen genes expressed in the third larval (L3) and the molting third larval...
