Activity of the promoter of the hsp70 gene of the parasitic helminth Schistosoma mansoni in the mammalian CHO cell-line

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Gene Structure and Expression, 1995
Functional assay of schistosome promoters is problematic because parasite cell-lines are not available. We found that the hsp70 promoters of S. mansoni and of other eukaryotes reveal similarities in the sequence and organization of the regulatory elements.

The helminth Schistosoma mansoni expresses a peptide similar to human beta-endorphin and possesses a proopiomelanocortin-related gene.

The New biologist, 1991
Opioid peptides, a group of transmitter substances with a high degree of phylogenic conservation, have many different functions, including a role in modulation of cells of the immune system. We have postulated the existence of such peptides in the parasite Schistosoma mansoni in view of their possible role in host-parasite interactions.

Unraveling Helminth-Specific T Cells: Insights from Gene Editing in Strongyloides ratti 2176

The Journal of Immunology
Abstract Description   CD4+ helper 2 (TH2) cells are crucial for protective Type 2 immunity against parasitic helminths, but the importance of antigen-specificity in this context remains a controversial topic.

Development of primers for the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I gene in digenetic trematodes (Platyhelminthes) illustrates the challenge of barcoding parasitic helminths

Molecular Ecology Resources, 2009
AbstractThe phylum Platyhelminthes is a diverse group of flatworms that includes parasites with serious impacts on human health, animal husbandry, aquaculture and wildlife management. Here we present degenerate primers for the barcode region of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) gene in flatworms.

Cloning of the SmSPO-1 gene preferentially expressed in sporocyst during the life cycle of the parasitic helminth Schistosoma mansoni1.

Biochimica et biophysica acta, 1999
Schistosomes are parasitic helminths with a complex life cycle in human and snail hosts. They express stage-specific genes that conceivably determine distinct properties of the parasite at different developmental stages. Here we report the stage-specific gene SmSPO-1, which is preferentially expressed in sporocysts residing in the snail host.

The role of STAT6-regulated gene expression in macrophages and epithelial cells in the context of helminth infections

2020
Obwohl Wurminfektionen eine der häufigsten Ursachen einer chronischen Erkrankung des Menschen sind, werden sie immer noch als vernachlässigte tropische Krankheit eingestuft. Umso erfreulicher war es, dass der Nobelpreis im Jahr 2015 für die Entdeckung und Entwicklung eines Medikamentes in der Wurmtherapie verliehen wurde.

Integrative Taxonomy of Marine Helminths from Carangoides spp.: Evidence from Morphology, ITS2, 28S rDNA and COI Gene Sequences

Advanced International Journal for Research
Marine carangid fishes of the genus Carangoides harbour diverse helminth assemblages including digeneans, monogeneans, and nematodes. Traditional morphology-based taxonomy has historically guided species descriptions, yet phenotypic plasticity and cryptic speciation frequently obscure species boundaries.
