Adhesion of Cercaria (Larva of Helminth Parasites) to Host by Lectins- carbohydrates bonds as a Model for Evaluation of Schistosoma Entrance Mechanisms in Cercarial Dermatitis [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Public Health, 2008
Background: Cercariae (larva of helminth parasites) are covered by a thick glycocalyx coat, which serves as an osmotic pro­tection during their free existence, and contain carbohydrates conjugated as glycoproteins, glycolipids and mu­co­polysaccharides ...

Polish Annals of Medicine
IntroductionCercarial dermatitis (swimmer's itch) is a water-borne parasitic skin disease caused by larvae (cercariae) of a nonhuman species of schistosome. The prevailing symptoms are nodulopapular skin lesions accompanied by pruritus. The condition occurs virtually worldwide and is considered to be an emerging public health problem in Europe. In most
