Sigmoid Schistosomiasis Granuloma Manifested as a Large Painless Supra-Pubic Mass: A Case Report. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT Schistosomiasis remains a prevalent parasitic disease in tropical and subtropical regions, ranking second to malaria in terms of parasitic burden. The disease manifests in two primary forms: urinary schistosomiasis, caused by Schistosoma haematobium, and intestinal schistosomiasis, associated with S. mansoni and S. japonicum.

SmSP2: A serine protease secreted by the blood fluke pathogen Schistosoma mansoni with anti-hemostatic properties. [PDF]

, 2018
BackgroundSerine proteases are important virulence factors for many pathogens. Recently, we discovered a group of trypsin-like serine proteases with domain organization unique to flatworm parasites and containing a thrombospondin type 1 repeat (TSR-1 ...

Unveiling the anti-neoplastic potential of Schistosoma mansoni-derived antigen against breast cancer: a pre-clinical study [PDF]

European Journal of Medical Research
Background Cancer is a global health concern, with millions of new cases and deaths annually. Recently, immunotherapy has strengthened cancer treatment by harnessing the body's immune system to fight cancer. The search for advanced cancer immunotherapies

Life stage-specific glycosylation of extracellular vesicles from Schistosoma mansoni schistosomula and adult worms drives differential interaction with C-type lectin receptors DC-SIGN and MGL

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2023
Schistosomes can survive in mammalian hosts for many years, and this is facilitated by released parasite products that modulate the host’s immune system.

Focal eosinophilic infiltration of the liver, benign or malignant?

Clinical Case Reports, 2021
Focal eosinophilic infiltration (FEI) of the liver shares imaging characteristics with malignant hepatic lesions but should be suspected when concomitantly observing eosinophilia. While in itself benign, the cause of FEI should be sought and treated.

Single-sex schistosome infections of definitive hosts: Implications for epidemiology and disease control in a changing world [PDF]

, 2018
Parasites of the genus Schistosoma cause schistosomiasis, a life-threatening infectious disease for humans and animals worldwide. Among the remarkable biological features of schistosomes is the differentiation of the female gonads which is controlled by ...

A novel, non-neuronal acetylcholinesterase of schistosome parasites is essential for definitive host infection

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
Schistosomes are long-lived parasitic worms that infect >200 million people globally. The intravascular life stages are known to display acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity internally as well as, somewhat surprisingly, on external tegumental ...

Functional Annotation of Some Hypothetical Genes in the Schistosoma Parasite Based on Reciprocal Best Structural-hit Relationship [PDF]

Research in Molecular Medicine, 2022
Background: The Schistosoma parasite is responsible for several overlooked tropical diseases, which cause significant economic losses in livestock. This parasite is increasingly found in the central areas of the northern provinces of Iran. To generate an

Schistosomiasis and liver disease: Learning from the past to understand the present

Clinical Case Reports, 2020
To diagnose schistosomiasis, past medical history review should include recent travel to or from an endemic area, a history of elevated liver enzymes as well as contact with contaminated sources of water or farm animals.
