Ancient hybridization and adaptive introgression of an invadolysin gene in schistosome parasites

Introgression among parasite species has the potential to transfer traits of biomedical importance across species boundaries. Findings from this study suggest that S. bovis/S. haematobium hybridization occurs rarely, but demonstrate profound consequences of ancient introgression from a livestock parasite into the genome of S. haematobium, the most prevalent schistosome species infecting humans.
