Eudiplozoon nipponicum Transcriptome or Gene expression

Ectoparasitic flatworms from the family Diplozoidae (Platyhelminthes: Monogenea) represent a serious hematophagous fish pathogens. Information related to the biochemical and molecular nature of the physiological processes is rather sporadic and fairly nothing is known about the molecules produced by monogeneans and their role in host-parasite interaction, such as e.g., evasion to the immune system, digestion and suppression of coagulation. Therefore, we performed complex transcriptomic and proteomic (secretomic) analysis of monogenean representative Eudiplozoon nipponicum Goto, 1891 (Polyopisthocotylea: Diplozoidae), which was realized by two sequencing strategies (454/Roche and MiSeq Illumina) and mass spectrometry for purpose identified molecules which are involved in host-parasite interaction.
