Prevalence of gastrointestinal helminth infections in ovine population of Kashmir Valley [PDF]
Veterinary World, 2015 Aim: Gastrointestinal (GI) helminth parasitism is one of the major constraints for profitable sheep production. Due to variations in the prevalence of GI helminths from region to region, it becomes important to map out accurately the parasitic fauna of a

Comparative analysis of cystatin superfamily in platyhelminths. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The cystatin superfamily is comprised of cysteine proteinase inhibitors and encompasses at least 3 subfamilies: stefins, cystatins and kininogens. In this study, the platyhelminth cystatin superfamily was identified and grouped into stefin and cystatin ...

Tissue-specific transcriptome analyses provide new insights into GPCR signalling in adult Schistosoma mansoni. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2018 Schistosomes are blood-dwelling trematodes with global impact on human and animal health. Because medical treatment is currently based on a single drug, praziquantel, there is urgent need for the development of alternative control strategies.

A SIMPLE TECHNIQUE FOR STAINING OF PLATYHELMINTHS WITH THE LACTOPHNOL COTTON BLUE STAIN [PDF]
Journal of the Egyptian Society of Parasitology, 2013 This paper describes a simple technique for staining of flatworms using lactophenol cotton blue (LPCB). The staining was tested on 2 trematode species: Heterophyes heterophyes and Mesostephanus appendiculatus, and one cestode: Diplopylidium acanthotetra,

Septins of Platyhelminths: identification, phylogeny, expression and localization among developmental stages of Schistosoma mansoni. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2013 Septins are a family of eukaryotic GTP binding proteins conserved from yeasts to humans. Originally identified in mutants of budding yeast, septins participate in diverse cellular functions including cytokinesis, organization of actin networks, cell ...

Conservation and Targets of miR-71: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Non-Coding RNA, 2023 MicroRNAs (miRNAs) perform a pivotal role in the regulation of gene expression across the animal kingdom. As negative regulators of gene expression, miRNAs have been shown to function in the genetic pathways that control many biological processes and ...
