Hippobosca camelina De novo whole genome sequencing

Hippobosca camelina species have been shown to vector infectious pathogens such as Candidatus anaplasma camelii in camels. Currently, there is no reference or draft genome for any of the seven Hippobosca species is available in any of the public databases. This study aims to provide whole genome assemblies for two Hippobosca species and describe genes responsible for chemical sensing at the centre of the trap and bait designs to control the vector and lower vector-borne disease transmission rates.
