Follicular helper T cells recruit eosinophils into host liver by producing CXCL12 during Schistosoma japonicum infection

Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 2566-2572, February 2020., 2020
Abstract Schistosomiasis affects at least 200 million people in tropical and subtropical areas. The major pathology of schistosomiasis is egg‐induced liver granuloma characterized by an eosinophil‐rich inflammatory infiltration around the eggs, which subsequently leads to hepatic fibrosis and circulatory impairment in host.

Sedum sarmentosum Total Flavonoids Alleviate Schistosomiasis‐Induced Liver Fibrosis by Altering TGF‐β1 and Smad7 Expression

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
Objectives. Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease that affects over 142 million people worldwide. The main causes of death of schistosomiasis include liver granuloma and secondary hepatic cirrhosis resulting from severe fibrosis. Despite intensive research, controlling liver fibrosis associated with schistosomiasis remains challenging.

A New Method to Test Molluscicides against the Philippine Schistosomiasis Snail Vectors

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
To expedite the discovery of novel molluscicides in the laboratory, this study aimed to evaluate the performance of a new molluscicidal assay. This assay is based on Oncomelania hupensis quadrasi snails and is called miniaturized plate test or mpt. To perform this assay, a 12‐well plate, 3 snails per well, and 24‐h exposure period were used.

Prevalence of Schistosoma mansoni and S. haematobium in Snail Intermediate Hosts in Africa: A Systematic Review and Meta‐analysis

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
Background. Schistosomiasis is caused by Schistosoma mansoni and S. haematobium in Africa. These schistosome parasites use freshwater snail intermediate hosts to complete their lifecycle. Varied prevalence rates of these parasites in the snail intermediate hosts were reported from several African countries, but there were no summarized data for ...
