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 ...

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

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.
