In addition to LDLR and FADS genes, we observed PSGs involved in lipid scavenge (for example, Niemann Pick C1 protein, fatty acid-binding protein and glycolipid transfer protein) and glycolysis (for example, pyruvate kinase and fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase) that were probably beneficial to T. asiatica in establishing infection in the lipid/sugar-rich liver in pigs. The gene discussed is GOT2; the disease is infection.
