Two new studies report genomic data on three species of whipworm, soil-transmitted parasitic worms responsible for trichuriasis. These genomes provide insights into host-pathogen interactions and potential for new drug targets for helminth therapy.
两项新的研究报告了三种鞭虫(土壤传播的寄生蠕虫,可导致鞭虫病)的基因组数据。这些基因组为宿主-病原体相互作用和开发针对蠕虫治疗的新药物靶点提供了新见解。
