RNA-Seq reveals infection-induced gene expression changes in the snail intermediate host of the carcinogenic liver fluke, Opisthorchis viverrini.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014
BackgroundBithynia siamensis goniomphalos is the snail intermediate host of the liver fluke, Opisthorchis viverrini, the leading cause of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) in the Greater Mekong sub-region of Thailand.

Chronic Opisthorchis viverrini Infection Changes the Liver Microbiome and Promotes Helicobacter Growth. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Adults of Opisthorchis viverrini reside in the biliary system, inducing inflammation of bile ducts and cholangitis, leading to hepatobiliary disease (HBD) including cholangiocarcinoma. O.

Mathematical analysis of the transmission dynamics of the liver fluke, Opisthorchis viverrini [PDF]

, 2018
We develop and analyse two population-based models of the transmission dynamics of the worm parasit e Opisthorchis viverrini . The life cycle of  O. viverrini includes humans, cats and dogs as definitive hosts; and snails and fish as intermediate hosts ...

Does Opisthorchis viverrini circulate between humans and domestic cats in an endemic area in Thailand?

Parasitology, 2022
Abstract The liver fluke Opisthorchis viverrini is a foodborne trematode that, in chronic infection, is a leading cause of bile-duct cancer – cholangiocarcinoma. Cats and dogs are acknowledged as reservoir hosts of this parasite. However, this assumption

Association of comorbidity between Opisthorchis viverrini infection and diabetes mellitus in the development of cholangiocarcinoma among a high-risk population, northeastern Thailand.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2021
BackgroundCholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a category of lethal hepatobiliary malignancies. Previous studies have found that Opisthorchis viverrini infection and diabetes mellitus (DM) are closely correlated with CCA.

Peptide derived from progranulin of the carcinogenic liver fluke, Opisthorchis viverrini stimulates cell hyperproliferation and proinflammatory cytokine production

Research Square, 2023
Purpose Progranulin (PGRN) is a secreted glycoprotein growth factor with roles in wound healing, inflammation, angiogenesis and malignancy. An orthologue of the gene encoding human PGRN was identified in the carcinogenic liver fluke Opisthorchis ...

Spatial distribution of, and risk factors for, Opisthorchis viverrini infection in southern Lao PDR. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2012
BACKGROUND: Opisthorchis viverrini is a food-borne trematode species that might give rise to biliary diseases and the fatal cholangiocarcinoma. In Lao PDR, an estimated 2.5 million individuals are infected with O.
