Abstract: Ascaris suum genome sequenced The genome of the common roundworm Ascaris suum, a major parasite in many parts of the world, has now been sequenced. Analyses reveal many genes that encode peptidases linked to the penetration and degradation of host tissues, as well as molecules likely to modulate or evade host immune responses. The availability of this genome sequence should contribute towards the development of new therapeutic interventions against ascariasis and other nematode infections.
