De novo genome assembly, annotation, and characterization of chemosensory genes in the camel ked (Hippobosca camelina)

Abstract Background Hippobosca camelina (camel ked) is an obligate hematophagous ectoparasite that infests camels. Hematophagy inflicts painful bites leading to myiasis, anemia and pathogen transmission such as Candidatus Anaplasma camelii. A genome assembly for this biting flies is currently unavai...
