Abstract:

Circular RNA (circRNA) is a special kind of non-coding RNA molecule, which has the functions of transcriptional regulation and protein translation. In this review, we summarized the changes of host circRNA expression induced by parasite infection and the role of parasite circRNA in regulating parasite development and reproduction, with an attempt to provide evidences in following research.

Key words: CircRNA, Parasite, Host, Regulatory effect
