Full transcriptomes of the adult and metacercarial stages are elucidated.
O. felineus has impaired polyamine synthesis, methionine salvage and peroxisome biogenesis pathways.
MD-2 lipid binding proteins, calmodulins and cathepsin gene families are expanded.
O. felineus specific granulin-like transcripts were identified.
Adult and metacercarial stages have correspondingly 648 and 903 stage-specific genes.
