Gene manipulation in parasitic helminths

International Journal for Parasitology, 2003
In light of recent growth in available DNA sequence information for a number of parasitic helminths, it is crucial that suitable gene manipulation technologies are developed to facilitate functional genomic studies in these organisms. In this review we discuss recent progress in the development of these technologies in nematode and platyhelminth ...

Prediction of gene expression and codon usage in human parasitic helminths

Genes & Genomics, 2015
Codon usage bias refers to the differences in the occurrence frequency of synonymous codons. To understand the patterns of codon usage in mitochondrial genes we used bioinformatic approaches to analyze the protein coding sequences of W. bancrofti and S. haematobium as no work was reported earlier.

Digital gene expression analysis of gastrointestinal helminth resistance in Scottish blackface lambs

Molecular Ecology, 2011
AbstractDigital gene expression (DGE) analysis offers a route to gene discovery which by‐passes the need to develop bespoke arrays for nonmodel species, and is therefore a potentially valuable tool for molecular ecologists. Scottish blackface sheep, which vary in resistance to the common abomasal parasitic nematode Teladorsagia circumcincta, were ...

Expression of helminth genes in Leishmania: an experimental transfection system to test immunological function

Parasite Immunology, 2008
SUMMARY Functional analysis of genes from parasitic helminths requires, at the present time, heterologous expression. We have adapted the well‐characterized system of transfection in Leishmania protozoal parasites, as a means of analysing the effect of single filarial genes on the mammalian immune system. For example, testing the function of the Brugia

Proteinases and Associated Genes of Parasitic Helminths

1999
Many parasites have deployed proteinases to accomplish some of the tasks imposed by a parasitic life style, including tissue penetration, digestion of host tissue for nutrition and evasion of host immune responses. Information on proteinases from trematodes, cestodes and nematode parasites is reviewed, concentrating on those worms of major medical and ...

Regulation of HSP70 gene expression during the life cycle of the parasitic helminth Schistosoma mansoni

European Journal of Biochemistry, 1993
Analyses of RNA from different developmental stages of Schistosoma mansoni showed stage‐specific expression of heat‐shock protein 70 (hsp70), which is regulated by a developmental program and by stress. The developmental program, common to hsp70 and other genes (e. g.

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.
