Signal Transducers and Activators of Transcription (STAT) Family Members in Helminth Infections
International Journal of Biological Sciences, 2011 Helminth parasites are a diverse group of multicellular organisms. Despite their heterogeneity, helminths share many common characteristics, such as the modulation of the immune system of their hosts towards a permissive state that favors their ...

African Journal of Biomedical Research, 2020 Mutations in the 3’UTR and D543N regions of the solute carrier 11a1 protein (SLC11A1) gene have been found to strongly increase the risk of several diseases caused by intracellular organisms such as M. tuberculosis. The aim of this study was to screen for polymorphisms in the 3’UTR and D543N regions of SLC11A1 gene with the goal of understanding the ...

From parasite genomes to one healthy world: Are we having fun yet? [PDF]
, 2009 In 1990, the Human Genome Sequencing Project was established. This laid the ground work for an explosion of sequence data that has since followed. As a result of this effort, the first complete genome of an animal, Caenorhabditis elegans was published in

Protein profile of extracellular vesicles derived from adult Parascaris spp.
Parasites & VectorsBackground Parascaris spp. represent a significant threat to equine health worldwide, particularly in foals. The long-term survival of parasites in the host necessitates persistent modulation of the host immune response.
