Parasite genomics
Parasite genomics is a field of research focusing on the genetic makeup of parasitic organisms. The genome can impact various factors such as the health, function, and behavior of the parasite. Additionally, genetic mutations that occur in a parasite's genome can lead to disease or dysfunction.
