Identification of novel aspartic proteases from <it>Strongyloides ratti </it>and characterisation of their evolutionary relationships, stage-specific expression and molecular structure
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Aspartic proteases are known to play an important role in the biology of nematode parasitism. This role is best characterised in blood-feeding nematodes, where they digest haemoglobin, but they are also likely to play important roles...
