A non-vesicular Argonaute protein is transmitted from nematode to mouse and is important for parasite survival

Kyriaki Neophytou, Isaac Martínez-Ugalde, Thomas M. Fenton, E. Douglas Robertson, Lewis J. Strachan, V Jayaraman, Yvonne M. Harcus, Chanel Milène Naar, David Wright, Daniel R. G. Price, Ruby F. White, Mike Evans, José Roberto Bermúdez‐Barrientos, Hanchen Li, Rick M. Maizels, , Amy H. Buck

This study identifies an extracellular Argonaute protein from a parasitic nematode that can be internalized by mouse cells and shows it can be targeted for vaccine development.

Chromosomal genome assembly resolves drug resistance loci in the parasitic nematode Teladorsagia circumcincta

Jennifer McIntyre, Alison A. Morrison, Kirsty Maitland, Duncan Berger, Daniel R. G. Price, Sam Dougan, Dionysios Grigoriadis, Alan Tracey, Nancy E. Holroyd, Katie Bull, Hannah Rose Vineer, Mike J. Glover, Eric Rene Morgan, Alasdair J. Nisbet, Tom N. McNeilly, , Stephen R. Doyle

The paper generates a chromosome-scale genome assembly for Teladorsagia circumcincta and identifies genetic loci associated with drug resistance to improve anthelmintic resistance diagnostics.
