Characterization of a novel cysteine protease in Trichinella spiralis and its role in larval intrusion, development and fecundity

Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the biological properties of a novel gut-specific cysteine protease in Trichinella spiralis (TsGSCP) and its role in larval intrusion, development and fecundity. TsGSCP has a functional C1 peptidase domain; C1 peptidase belongs to cathepsin B family....
