The genomes of four tapeworm species reveal adaptations to parasitism.

The genomes of four tapeworm species reveal adaptations to parasitism.

Tapeworms (Cestoda) cause neglected diseases that can be fatal and are difficult to treat, owing to inefficient drugs. Here we present an analysis of tapeworm genome sequences using the human-infective species Echinococcus multilocularis, E. granulosus, Taenia solium and the laboratory model Hymenol...
