Trematode infection buffers heat stress in blue mussels Mytilus edulis: The role of heat shock proteins. [PDF]
J Anim EcolThe study shows that parasite infection changes heat shock protein expression and can increase heat tolerance in blue mussels. By separating parasite and temperature effects, the results suggest that infection may improve survival during heat stress, highlighting important parasite–host interactions for climate change resilience. Abstract The influence

Effects of Physicochemical Factors on Loss of Infectivity of Opisthorchis viverrini Cercariae
Walailak Journal of Science and Technology, 2021 This study aims to develop an alternative field-based approach to interrupt the life cycle of O. viverrini. The effects of temperature, salinity, acidity, ultraviolet A, B, C radiation, and combinations of these physicochemical factors on the loss of ...

The effects of subcurative praziquantel treatment on life-history traits and trade-offs in drug-resistant Schistosoma mansoni [PDF]
, 2016 Natural selection acts on all organisms, including parasites, to maximise reproductive fitness. Drug resistance traits are often associated with life-history costs in the absence of treatment.

Development and validation of a luminescence-based, medium-throughput assay for drug screening in Schistosoma mansoni [PDF]
, 2015 Schistosomiasis, one of the world's greatest neglected tropical diseases, is responsible for over 280,000 human deaths per annum. Praziquantel, developed in the 1970s, has high efficacy, excellent tolerability, few and transient side effects, simple ...

Characterization, cloning and immunogenicity of antigens released by transforming cercariae of Schistosoma mansoni [PDF]
, 2000 A schistosome infection is initiated when the parasite penetrates the skin of a susceptible host. Relatively large quantities of protein are released by transforming cercariae compared to later larval stages.

Uptake of macromolecules by cercariae during skin penetration and transformation to schistosomula (Schistosoma mansoni) [PDF]
, 2010 Here, we observed the uptake of membrane-impermeant molecules by cercariae as they penetrate the skin and are transformed into schistosomula. We propose that membrane-impermeant molecules, Lucifer Yellow, Propidium iodide and Hoechst 33258 enter the ...
