Spontaneous Electrical Activity and Spikes in the Tail of Marine Cercariae

International Scholarly Research Notices, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
Spontaneous electrical activity is recorded in two species of marine cercariae, Cryptocotyle lingua and Himasthla elongata, with different types of swimming—by glass microelectrode recordings. Slow local field potentials (sLFPs) of low amplitude and fast high amplitude action potentials (APs) are found.

Schistosomiasis Interventions in Africa: Assessment and Systematic Review

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Background: Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease with high endemicity across Africa. As a waterborne parasitic disease, the population at highest risk includes school‐age children, although adults are also affected. The rationale for this review is to assess the effectiveness of the various schistosomiasis control interventions implemented ...

Schistosoma excretory/secretory products: an untapped library of tolerogenic immunotherapeutics against food allergy

Clinical &Translational Immunology, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2024.
Our review provides an extensive overview of the soluble immunomodulatory products released through the different life stages of the parasite, in particular, those newly identified as a result of the significant advances in protein, metabolites, miRNA and extracellular vesicle isolation and identification.

Acute Schistosomiasis in Brazilian Traveler: The Importance of Tourism in The Epidemiology of Neglected Parasitic Diseases

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Parasitic infectious diseases acquired in tourist areas may pose a challenge to physicians and to travel medicine practitioners. Acute schistosomiasis may be seen in returning travelers and migrants after primary infection. This form of schistosomiasis is frequently misdiagnosed due to its temporal delay and its nonspecific presentation and might occur

Tracking melioidosis in Iran: Utilizing abattoir‐based surveillance as a One Health approach

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 10, Issue 4, July 2024.
After years of neglecting melioidosis endemicity in Iran, this study investigated the presence of Burkholderia pseudomallei in ruminant lung and liver abscesses in six slaughterhouses in Golestan province. The results showed no confirmed pathogen presence, emphasizing the importance of abattoir surveys under the One Health surveillance system ...
