Advanced enzymology, expression profile and immune response of Clonorchis sinensis hexokinase show its application potential for prevention and control of clonorchiasis. [PDF]
Approximately 35 million people are infected with Clonorchis sinensis (C. sinensis) globally, of whom 15 million are in China. Glycolytic enzymes are recognized as crucial molecules for trematode survival and have been targeted for vaccine and drug ...

Lipofuscin pigment in adult Clonorchis sinensis
Adult Clonorchis sinensis from infected human cases may have black pigment in their parenchyme. In present paper, the nature of the pigment was investigated. The pigment distributed in cytoplasm of parenchymal cells of the worms. Histochemically the pigment was positive by periodic acid-Schiff, Ziehl-Neelsen, and lipofuscin stainings.

ABSTRACT There is strong epidemiological evidence that development of various cancer types is linked to infection with flukes (Platyhelminthes: Trematoda) in Africa, Asia and the Middle East. The exact nature of the mechanism by which cancer is induced by these parasites is unknown.

Chromosomes of the liver fluke, Clonorchis sinensis [PDF]
A karyological study was carried out in order to compared the chromosome numbers, chromosome morphologies and karyotypes of the oriental liver fluke, Clonorchis sinensis (Trematoda: Opisthorchiidae), collected from Korea and China. Chromosome preparations were made by means of air-drying method.

This study is aimed at evaluating the effects of dietary Cannabis sativa L. leaf supplementation on superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels and the prevention of liver fluke (Opisthorchis viverrini) metacercaria infection in Barbonymus gonionotus. The experiment included five treatment groups, with varying concentrations of C. sativa leaves (0.0%, 0.5%, 1.0%,

Structural insights into a 20.8-kDa tegumental-allergen-like (TAL) protein from Clonorchis sinensis
Survival of Clonorchis sinensis, a cause of human clonorchiasis, requires tegument proteins, which are localized to the tegumental outer surface membrane. These proteins play an important role in a host response and parasite survival.

Progress on the development of rapid diagnostic tests for foodborne neglected zoonotic helminthiases : a systematic review [PDF]
Background: Foodborne Neglected Zoonotic Helminths (FNZH) are parasites of both economic and public health importance. They include Taenia solium, Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato, Echinococcus multilocularis and Foodborne trematodes (FBT).

This study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of health education and anti-Clonorchis campaign conducted in Kyungpook Province and to compare the prevalence of Clonorchis sinensis among the residents in the same areas for the period 1964-1976. Both surveys were made on all age groups of residents ranging from 0 to over 60 years of age.
