Comparative genomics reveals adaptive evolution of Asian tapeworm in switching to a new intermediate host

Comparative genomics reveals adaptive evolution of Asian tapeworm in switching to a new intermediate host

Only one of the three Taenia species causing taeniasis in humans was previously sequenced. Here the authors provide draft genomes of Taenia saginata and Taenia asiatica, analyse genome evolution of all three species, and identify potential targets for developing diagnostic markers or intervention to...
