Bsep/Abcb11 knockout ameliorates Schistosoma mansoni liver pathology by reducing parasite fecundity
Liver International, Volume 43, Issue 11, Page 2469-2478, November 2023., 2023 Abstract Background and Aims Schistosoma mansoni infection is one of the worldwide leading causes of liver fibrosis and portal hypertension. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether polyhydroxylated bile acids (BAs), known to protect mice from the development of acquired cholestatic liver injury, counteract S.

The FASEB Journal, Volume 37, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023 The research conducted by Zhang et al. investigated the protective function of LIN‐24, a Caenorhabditis elegans homolog of bacterial pore‐forming toxin, in defending against microbial infections. Knockdown and overexpression of LIN‐24 resulted in changes in gene expression related to immune and defense response. Infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa 14

Re‐recognition of innate immune memory as an integrated multidimensional concept
Microbiology and Immunology, Volume 67, Issue 8, Page 355-364, August 2023., 2023 Abstract In the past decade, the concept of immunological memory, which has long been considered a phenomenon observed in the adaptive immunity of vertebrates, has been extended to the innate immune system of various organisms. This de novo immunological memory is mainly called “innate immune memory”, “immune priming”, or “trained immunity” and has ...

Target‐capture probes for phylogenomics of the Caenogastropoda
Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 23, Issue 6, Page 1372-1388, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Target‐capture approaches have facilitated a rapid growth in the field of phylogenomics but few probe sets exist for molluscs, an exceptionally rich phylum with unparalleled ecological and morphological diversity. We designed and tested the first universal probe set using Phyluce to capture ultraconserved elements (UCEs) and exon loci from the

The role of small‐scale environmental gradients on trematode infection
Freshwater Biology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 1453-1461, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Parasitism rates can vary dramatically across large and small spatial scales. Such heterogeneity in infection is driven by variation in environmental factors that influence the probability of host and parasite encountering each other (encounter filters) and of genetic and physiological factors that alter whether that encounter results in a ...

Latex of "Coroa de Cristo" (Euphorbia Splendens): an effective molluscicide
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1986 An aqueous solution of the latex of "coroa de cristo" (Euphorbia splendens var. hislopii) showed molluscicide action (LD90) at a concentration lower than 0.5 ppm on Biomphalaria glabrata and B.

Ionotropic Receptors Identified within the Tentacle of the Freshwater Snail Biomphalaria glabrata, an Intermediate Host of Schistosoma mansoni. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Biomphalaria glabrata (B. glabrata) is an air-breathing aquatic mollusc found in freshwater habitats across the Western Hemisphere. It is most well-known for its recognized capacity to act as a major intermediate host for Schistosoma mansoni, the human ...
