Journal ArticleDOI
Whole-genome sequence of Schistosoma haematobium
Neil D. Young,Aaron R. Jex,Bo Li,Shiping Liu,Linfeng Yang,Zijun Xiong,Yingrui Li,Cinzia Cantacessi,Ross S. Hall,Xun Xu,Fangyuan Chen,Xuan Wu,Adhemar Zerlotini,Guilherme Oliveira,Andreas Hofmann,Andreas Hofmann,Guojie Zhang,Xiaodong Fang,Yi Kang,Bronwyn E. Campbell,Alex Loukas,Shoba Ranganathan,Shoba Ranganathan,David Rollinson,Gabriel Rinaldi,Gabriel Rinaldi,Paul J. Brindley,Huanming Yang,Jun Wang,Jian Wang,Robin B. Gasser +30 more
TL;DR: The 385-Mb genome of S. haematobium is sequenced using Illumina-based technology at 74-fold coverage and compared it to sequences from related parasites to provide an unprecedented resource for many fundamental research areas and shows great promise for the design of new disease interventions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ascaris suum draft genome
Aaron R. Jex,Shiping Liu,Bo Li,Neil D. Young,Ross S. Hall,Yingrui Li,Linfeng Yang,Na Zeng,Xun Xu,Zijun Xiong,Fangyuan Chen,Xuan Wu,Guojie Zhang,Xiaodong Fang,Yi Kang,Garry A. Anderson,Todd W. Harris,Bronwyn E. Campbell,Johnny Vlaminck,Tao Wang,Cinzia Cantacessi,Erich M. Schwarz,Shoba Ranganathan,Peter Geldhof,Peter Nejsum,Paul W. Sternberg,Huanming Yang,Jun Wang,Jing Wang,Robin B. Gasser +29 more
TL;DR: This genome provides a comprehensive resource to the scientific community and underpins the development of new and urgently needed interventions (drugs, vaccines and diagnostic tests) against ascariasis and other nematodiases.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of wild canids and felids in spreading parasites to dogs and cats in Europe. Part II: Helminths and arthropods
Domenico Otranto,Cinzia Cantacessi,Filipe Dantas-Torres,Emanuele Brianti,Martin Pfeffer,Claudio Genchi,Vittorio Guberti,Gioia Capelli,Peter Deplazes +8 more
TL;DR: A complete understanding of the biology, ecology and epidemiology of these parasites is particularly challenging to achieve, especially given the complexity of the environments in which these diseases perpetuate, and advancements in current knowledge of transmission routes are crucial.
Journal ArticleDOI
A portrait of the "SCP/TAPS" proteins of eukaryotes--developing a framework for fundamental research and biotechnological outcomes.
Cinzia Cantacessi,Bronwyn E. Campbell,Aline Visser,Peter Geldhof,Matthew J. Nolan,Alasdair J. Nisbet,J. B. Matthews,Alex Loukas,Andreas Hofmann,Domenico Otranto,Paul W. Sternberg,Robin B. Gasser +11 more
TL;DR: A comprehensive, systematic phylogenetic analysis of currently available full-length protein sequence data is undertaken to infer relationships and provide a framework (based on statistical support) for the naming of key SCP/TAPS proteins of eukaryotes, with an emphasis on parasitic helminths.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carcinogenic liver fluke secretes extracellular vesicles that promote cholangiocytes to adopt a tumorigenic phenotype
Sujittra Chaiyadet,Javier Sotillo,Michael J. Smout,Cinzia Cantacessi,Malcolm K. Jones,Michael Johnson,Lynne Turnbull,Cynthia B. Whitchurch,Jeremy Potriquet,Marut Laohaviroj,Jason Mulvenna,Paul J. Brindley,Jeffrey M. Bethony,Thewarach Laha,Banchob Sripa,Alex Loukas +15 more
TL;DR: This is the first time that EVs from a multicellular pathogen have been identified in host tissues and imply a role for O. viverrini EVs in pathogenesis and highlight an approach to vaccine development for this infectious cancer.
