( opmental hormones so Wolbachia's heme ...)A bacterial genome reveals new targets to combat infectious disease

opmental hormones, so Wolbachia's heme pathway may be an inviting target for therapy against nematode infection. Since no new antifilarial has been developed in two decades, these results may quickly lead to new therapeutic strategies against these parasites.
