Host preference of field‐derived Schistosoma mansoni is influenced by snail host compatibility and infection status

Ecosphere, Volume 13, Issue 4, April 2022., 2022
Abstract Schistosome parasites cause a chronic inflammatory disease in humans, and recent studies have emphasized the importance of control programs for understanding the aquatic phases of schistosomiasis transmission. The host‐seeking behavior of larval schistosomes (miracidia) for their snail intermediate hosts plays a critical role in parasite ...

VALUE OF ANTIGENIC SHARING BETWEEN ADULT SCHISTOSOMA MANSONI AND EGYPTIAN FRESHWATER SNAILS ON IMMUNO-DIAGNOSIS OF INTESTINAL SCHISTOSOMIASIS [PDF]

Journal of the Egyptian Society of Parasitology, 2021
Common antigenic molecules are found between different parasites and their intermediate hosts.This antigenic similarity may be applied for serodiagnosis or drug and vaccine development.

Genomic analysis of a parasite invasion: Colonization of the Americas by the blood fluke Schistosoma mansoni

Molecular Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 8, Page 2242-2263, April 2022., 2022
Abstract Schistosoma mansoni, a snail‐borne, blood fluke that infects humans, was introduced into the Americas from Africa during the Trans‐Atlantic slave trade. As this parasite shows strong specificity to the snail intermediate host, we expected that adaptation to South American Biomphalaria spp.

BIOLOGICAL AND HEMATOLOGICAL RESPONSES OF BIOMPHALARIA ALEXANDRINA TO MYCOBIOSYNTHSIS SILVER NANOPARTICLES [PDF]

Journal of the Egyptian Society of Parasitology, 2014
Silver nanoparticles (AgPNs) extracts were prepared from seven Seven fungal isolates were evaluated through measuring their toxicity against Biomphalaria alexandrina snails. The effects of the two promising Paecilomyces variotii and Aspergillus niger AgNPs sublethal concentrations (LC10 & LC25) on the levels of steroid sex hormones, liver enzymes ...

Carboxylic acids as biomarkers of Biomphalaria alexandrina snails infected with Schistosoma mansoni. [PDF]

Korean J Parasitol, 2010
Biomphalaria alexandrina snails play an indispensable role in transmission of schistosomiasis. Infection rates in field populations of snails are routinely determined by cercarial shedding neglecting prepatent snail infections, because of lack of a suitable method for diagnosis. The present study aimed at separation and quantification of oxalic, malic,
