Genome-wide identification and functional characterization of GPCR family genes reveal their key roles in the vitellarium development and egg production in Schistosoma japonicum

Abstract Background Schistosomiasis is a zoonotic parasitic disease of the genus Schistosoma. Current therapeutic approaches predominantly rely on the single drug praziquantel, highlighting the urgent need to identify additional effective drug targets. G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) play import...
