A Trypanosoma cruzi Genome Tandem Repetitive Satellite DNA Sequence as a Molecular Marker for a LAMP Assay for Diagnosing Chagas’ Disease

open access: yesDisease Markers, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
Chagas’ disease is a neglected tropical disease caused by Trypanosoma cruzi which is endemic throughout Latin America and is spread by worldwide migration. Diagnosis is currently limited to serological and molecular techniques having variations regarding their sensitivity and specificity.

Mini-FLOTAC as an alternative, non-invasive diagnostic tool for Schistosoma mansoni and other trematode infections in wildlife reservoirs

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2019
Background Schistosomiasis and food-borne trematodiases are not only of major public health concern, but can also have profound implications for livestock production and wildlife conservation.

The compatibility polymorphism in invertebrate host/trematodes interactions: research of molecular determinants

open access: yesParasite, 2008
The co-evolutionary dynamics that exist in many host-parasite interactions sometimes leads to compatibility polymorphism. This phenomenon is well documented in mollusc/trematodes interactions but its molecular base is unknown.

Extracellular vesicles from parasitic helminths contain specific excretory/secretory proteins and are internalized in intestinal host cells.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
The study of host-parasite interactions has increased considerably in the last decades, with many studies focusing on the identification of parasite molecules (i.e.

Excretory/secretory proteome of the adult stage of Echinostoma caproni

open access: yesParasitology Research, 2010
The excretory/secretory proteome of Echinostoma caproni (Trematoda: Echinostomatidae) adults collected from experimentally infected mice was investigated using a proteomic approach. We performed a shot-gun liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry for the separation and identification of tryptic peptides from the excretory/secretory products of E.

Specific Pathogen Recognition by Multiple Innate Immune Sensors in an Invertebrate

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2017
Detection of pathogens by all living organisms is the primary step needed to implement a coherent and efficient immune response. This implies a mediation by different soluble and/or membrane-anchored proteins related to innate immune receptors called ...

Systems parasitology: effects of Fasciola hepatica on the neurochemical profile in the rat brain

open access: yesMolecular Systems Biology, 2010
We characterize the integrated response of a rat host to the liver fluke Fasciola hepatica using a combination of 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic profiles (liver, kidney, intestine, brain, spleen, plasma, urine, feces) and multiplex cytokine ...

A fine‐scale phylogenetic assessment of digenean trematodes in central Alberta reveals we have yet to uncover their total diversity

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 9, Issue 6, Page 3153-3238, March 2019., 2019
This manuscript represents a large, single, collective examination of larval trematodes from snail hosts, using molecular markers and phylogenetic methods. We contribute 1,091 mitochondrial sequences (cox1 and nad1) that represent 79 species from 23 genera and eight families.

Biological properties of extracellular vesicles and their physiological functions

open access: yesJournal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 4, Issue 1, January 2015., 2015
In the past decade, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been recognized as potent vehicles of intercellular communication, both in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. This is due to their capacity to transfer proteins, lipids and nucleic acids, thereby influencing various physiological and pathological functions of both recipient and parent cells.

Protein and small non‐coding RNA‐enriched extracellular vesicles are released by the pathogenic blood fluke Schistosoma mansoni

open access: yesJournal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 4, Issue 1, January 2015., 2015
Background Penetration of skin, migration through tissues and establishment of long‐lived intravascular partners require Schistosoma parasites to successfully manipulate definitive host defences. While previous studies of larval schistosomula have postulated a function for excreted/secreted (E/S) products in initiating these host‐modulatory events, the
