Genomes of trombidid mites reveal novel predicted allergens and laterally-transferred genes associated with secondary metabolism (2018)
Journal Article
Dong, X., Chaisiri, K., Xia, D., Armstrong, S. D., Fang, Y., Donnelly, M. J., …Makepeace, B. L. (2018). Genomes of trombidid mites reveal novel predicted allergens and laterally-transferred genes associated with secondary metabolism. GigaScience, 7(12), https://doi.org/10.1093/gigascience/giy127

Trombidid mites have a unique lifecycle in which only the larval stage is ectoparasitic. In the superfamily Trombiculoidea (“chiggers”), the larvae feed preferentially on vertebrates, including humans. Species in the genus Leptotrombidium are vectors...

Integrative transcriptome and proteome analyses define marked differences between Neospora caninum isolates throughout the tachyzoite lytic cycle (2018)
Journal Article
Horcajo, P., Xia, D., Randle, N., Collantes-Fernández, E., Wastling, J., Ortega-Mora, L. M., & Regidor-Cerrillo, J. (2018). Integrative transcriptome and proteome analyses define marked differences between Neospora caninum isolates throughout the tachyzoite lytic cycle.

Neospora caninum is one of the main causes of transmissible abortion in cattle. Intraspecific variations in virulence have been widely shown among N. caninum isolates. However, the molecular basis governing such variability have not been elucidated t...
