RNA-seq of Lucilia cuprina larval cardia under different dietary conditions
The Transcriptome of the Australian sheep blowfly (Lucilia cuprina) larval cardia under different dietary conditions. The cardia is a specialised larval tissue responsible for the production of the peritrophic matrix (PM), a semi-permeable structure that lines the gut. The PM plays a critical role in digestion and protection and represents a primary target for vaccine antigen development.
