Chlorination of Schistosoma mansoni cercariae [PDF]

open access: yesPLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020
Schistosomiasis is a water-based disease acquired through contact with cercaria-infested water. Communities living in endemic regions often rely on parasite-contaminated freshwater bodies for their daily water contact activities, resulting in recurring schistosomiasis infection.

Organization of the Musculature of Schistosome Cercariae

open access: yesJournal of Parasitology, 2003
Phalloidin-fluorescein isothiocyanate staining of filamentous actin was used to identify muscle systems within the cercariae of Schistosoma mansoni. Examination of labeled cercariae by confocal scanning laser microscopy revealed distinct organizational levels of myofiber arrangements within the body wall, anterior cone, acetabulum, and esophagus.

No Simple Fluke: Schistosomiasis as an Emerging Regulator of Haematopoiesis. [PDF]

open access: yesParasite Immunol
ABSTRACT Schistosomiasis, or bilharzia, is a highly prevalent water‐borne helminth infection that accounts for an estimated 1.5–1.7 billion disability‐adjusted life years lost annually. Pathology driven by adult worms and eggs is accompanied by robust immunomodulation in the human host. Protective responses may promote worm elimination, limit bystander

Competent Non-Native Alternative Host Reduces Infection Success in a Generalist Parasite. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
In this study, we experimentally assessed how the addition of a non‐native alternative host affects the infection success of the larval generalist trematode, Diplostomum pseudospathaceum, in fish intermediate hosts. Our results demonstrate that the presence of alternative hosts, especially the non‐native ones, can reduce parasite transmission through ...
