A single-cell transcriptomic atlas of the Echinococcus multilocularis metacestode reveals cellular diversity and molecular specialization
The metacestode of Echinococcus multilocularis is the proliferative larval stage responsible for alveolar echinococcosis and displays remarkable capacities for long-term growth, regeneration and development within the host. Despite its medical relevance, the cellular composition and molecular organization of this stage...
