Molecular characterization of Clonorchis sinensis secretory myoglobin: delineating its role in anti-oxidative survival.

Background: Clonorchiasis is a globally important, neglected food-borne disease caused by Clonorchis sinensis (C. sinensis), and it is highly related to cholangiocarcinoma and hepatocellular carcinoma. Increased molecular evidence has strongly suggested that the adult worm of C.
