RNA interference in < i > Fasciola gigantica < /i > : Establishing and optimization of experimental RNAi in the newly excysted juveniles of the fluke
by Arun Anandanarayanan, Opinder Krishen Raina, Hniang Lalrinkima, Ajayta Rialch, Muthu Sankar, Anju Varghese Fasciolosis caused byFasciola gigantica is a neglected tropical disease but a constraint on the growth and productivity of cattle, buffaloes and sheep in the tropical countries of Asia and Africa. Resistance to commonly used anthelmintics inFasciola has increased the need to search for alternative therapeutic targets. RNA interference is the current tool of choice in the search for such targets inFasciola. The susceptibility of juvenileFasciola hepatica to double stranded (ds) RNA induced RNAi has been established...
