Immune reactivity and host modulatory roles of two novel Haemonchus contortus cathepsin B-like proteases

Immune reactivity and host modulatory roles of two novel Haemonchus contortus cathepsin B-like proteases

Abstract Background Haemonchus contortus is a blood-feeding, gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) that causes significant economic losses to the small ruminant industry worldwide. Despite extensive efforts, our understanding of the molecular mechanisms used by GIN to evade host immune responses is limite...
