SCP/TAPS proteins of parasitic helminths – future prospects

• SCP/TAPS proteins of parasitic helminths play key roles in fundamental biological processes linked to the invasion of and the establishment in their mammalian host [1]. • Despite the evidence that SCP/TAPS proteins of blood-feeding parasitic nematodes are involved in host-parasite interactions, there is a paucity of information on this protein family for parasitic trematodes of socio-economic importance.
