Cerebral Schistosomiasis in the Napu Valley, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia

Case Reports in Medicine, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Schistosomiasis is one of the neglected tropical diseases caused by parasitic worm infections of the genus Schistosoma. Involvement of the brain in schistosomiasis represents a particularly severe manifestation of the infection. Accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment of cerebral schistosomiasis are essential, especially in our healthcare facility

Multi‐Environment Quantification of Parasite and Intermediate Host DNA on Pasture for Fine‐Scale Disease Risk Assessment

Environmental DNA, Volume 6, Issue 5, September–October 2024.
Environmental DNA (eDNA) isolated from multiple environmental sources were used to better assess location suitability for parasite and snail intermediate host species in agricultural settings. ABSTRACT Parasite transmission occurs in complex environments comprising multiple matrices.

TLR7 Modulated T Cell Response in the Mesenteric Lymph Node of Schistosoma japonicum‐Infected C57BL/6 Mice

Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
Toll‐like receptors (TLRs) play an important role in regulating immune responses during pathogen infection. However, roles of TLRs on T cells reside in the mesenteric lymph node (MLN) were not be fully elucidated in the course of S. japonicum infection. In this study, T lymphocytes from the mesenteric lymph node (MLN) of S. japonicum‐infected mice were

Wetlands explain most in the genetic divergence pattern of Oncomelania hupensis

Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2014
Understanding the divergence patterns of hosts could shed lights on the prediction of their parasite transmission. No effort has been devoted to understand the drivers of genetic divergence pattern of Oncomelania hupensis, the only intermediate host of Schistosoma japonicum. Based on a compilation of two O.

Fifth mass extinction event triggered the diversification of the largest family of freshwater gastropods (Caenogastropoda: Truncatelloidea: Hydrobiidae)

Cladistics, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 82-96, February 2024.
Abstract The fifth mass extinction event (MEE) at the Cretaceous–Palaeogene (K–Pg) boundary 66 million years ago (Ma) led to massive species loss but also triggered the diversification of higher taxa. Five models have been proposed depending on whether this diversification occurred before, during or after the K–Pg boundary and the rate of species ...

C/EBP Homologous Protein (CHOP) Activates Macrophages and Promotes Liver Fibrosis in Schistosoma japonicum‐Infected Mice

Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
CCAAT/enhancer‐binding homologous protein (CHOP), a transcriptional regulator induced by endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER stress) is a pivotal factor in the ER stress‐mediated apoptosis pathway. Previous studies have shown that CHOP is involved in the formation of fibrosis in a variety of tissues and is associated with alternative macrophage activation.

IL‐7 suppresses macrophage autophagy and promotes liver pathology in Schistosoma japonicum‐infected mice

Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 22, Issue 7, Page 3353-3363, July 2018., 2018
Abstract In schistosomiasis japonica and mansoni, parasite eggs trapped in host liver elicit severe liver granulomatous inflammation that subsequently leads to periportal fibrosis, portal hypertension, haemorrhage or even death. Macrophages are critical for granuloma formation and the development of liver fibrosis during schistosomiasis.

Cross Infectivity Study of Four Subspecies of Oncomelania hupensis in Four Geographical Strains of Schistosoma Japonicum

Journal of Mathematical and Fundamental Sciences, 2019
. Four subspecies of Oncomelania hupensis, namely O.h.lindoensis, O.h.hupensis, O.h.nosophora and O.h.quadrasi were exposed to miracidia of four different geographical strains of Schistosoma japonicum, i.e.: the Chinese, Japanese, Philippine and ...
