Identifying potential drug targets in the kinomes of two monogenean species [PDF]
HelminthologiaProtein kinases are enzymes involved in essential biological processes such as signal transduction, transcription, metabolism, and the cell cycle. Human kinases are targets for several drugs approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. Therefore, the

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.
