A chromosome-level genome of the human blood fluke Schistosoma japonicum identifies the genomic basis of host-switching

Summary: The evolution and adaptation of S. japonicum, a zoonotic parasite that causes human schistosomiasis, remain unclear because of the lack of whole-genome data. We construct a chromosome-level S. japonicum genome and analyze it together with 72 samples representing six populations of the entir...
