Development of genome-wide polymorphic microsatellite markers for Trichinella spiralis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Malaria vector control in Africa relies on insecticides targeting adult mosquito vectors via insecticide treated nets or indoor residual spraying. Despite the proven efficacy of these strategies, the emergence and rapid rise in insecticide resistance in malaria vectors raises many concerns about their sustai...
