Adaptive evolution of stress response genes in parasites aligns with host niche diversity by Armando J. Cruz-Laufer, Maarten P. M. Vanhove, Lutz Bachmann, Maxwell Barson, Hassan Bassirou, Arnold R. Bitja Nyom, Mare Geraerts, Christoph Hahn, Tine Huyse, Gyrhaiss Kapepula Kasembele, Samuel Njom, Philipp Resl, Karen Smeets, Nikol Kmentová

“…Here, we tested the link between adaptive evolution of parasite stress response genes and their ecological diversity and species richness. We comparatively investigated antioxidant, heat shock, osmoregulatory, and behaviour-related genes (foraging) in two model parasitic flatworm lineages with contrasting ecological diversity, Cichlidogyrus and Kapentagyrus (Platyhelminthes: Monopisthocotyla), through whole-genome sequencing of 11 species followed by in silico exon bait capture as well as phylogenetic and codon analyses. …”
