Complete Transcriptome Analysis of Clonorchis sinensis at Four Different Development Stages

Clonorchis sinensis is an important zoonotic parasite, and long-term infection can cause serious hepatobiliary diseases and even cholangiocarcinoma. However, the full transcriptome analysis of clonorchis sinensis has not been reported yet. Therefore, we conducted transcriptome analysis on the samples of clonorchis sinensis at four different stages (adults, eggs, metacercariae and excysted metacercariae) to obtain the non-coding RNA (ncRNA) related to the growth, development and reproduction of clonorchis sinensis.
