Schistosoma bovis strain:TAN1997 Genome sequencing and assembly
Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by parasitic flatworms of the genus Schistosoma, infecting both humans and animals. In cattle, schistosomiasis caused by Schistosoma bovis is one of the most significant veterinary problems in many endemic countries. We sequenced the S. bovis genome from a mated adult worm pair and generated a 374 Mb assembly using Illumina and PacBio-based technologies.
