Parasitic infections are a severe issue in many regions of the world. We assume that if a chemical can destroy a DNA barcode sequence, then this chemical could be developed as a species-specific parasiticidal agent. To test this hypothesis, we designed sgRNAs that target the sequences of both a DNA barcode (ITS-2) and a control (5.8S rDNA) in Cryptocaryon irritans. In in vivo tests, we found that exposure to Cas9 mRNA mixed with sgRNAs was able to significantly reduce the hatching rate of tomont and the survival rate of theront. Quantitative Real-time PCR demonstrated that the DNAs of tomont and theront exposed to sgRNAs and Cas9 mRNA were significantly disrupted, no matter whether they were exposed to a single... More
