Genomes of trombidid mites reveal novel predicted allergens and laterally transferred genes associated with secondary metabolism

BACKGROUND: Trombidid mites have a unique life cycle in which only the larval stage is ectoparasitic. In the superfamily Trombiculoidea (“chiggers”), the larvae feed preferentially on vertebrates, including humans. Species in the genus Leptotrombidium are vectors of a potentially fatal bacterial inf...
