Schistosoma “Eggs-Iting” the Host: Granuloma Formation and Egg Excretion

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Schistosomiasis is a major cause of morbidity in humans invoked by chronic infection with parasitic trematodes of the genus Schistosoma. Schistosomes have a complex life-cycle involving infections of an aquatic snail intermediate host and a definitive ...

Non-typhoidal Salmonella intestinal carriage in a Schistosoma mansoni endemic community in a rural area of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020
BACKGROUND:Clinical observations and animal studies have suggested that Salmonella intestinal carriage is promoted by concurrent Schistosoma infection.

The Role of Type 2 Inflammation in Schistosoma-Induced Pulmonary Hypertension

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
Approximately 5% of individuals chronically infected with Schistosoma mansoni develop pulmonary hypertension (PH). The disease is progressive and often fatal, and treatment options are palliative, not curative. Recent studies have unraveled major players

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.

Urinary bladder Schistosoma haematobium-related squamous cell carcinoma: a report of two fatal cases and literature review

Tropical Diseases, Travel Medicine and Vaccines, 2022
Schistosomiasis is still a public health issue in certain areas of developing countries (especially in sub-saharan Africa). Schistosoma haematobium is a proven carcinogenic agent that causes mainly bladder squamous cell carcinoma. This type of cancer has

Gender-related differences in prevalence, intensity and associated risk factors of Schistosoma infections in Africa: A systematic review and meta-analysis

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2021
Background Schistosomiasis remains a global-health problem with over 90% of its burden concentrated in Africa. Field studies reflect the complex ways in which socio-cultural and socio-economic variables, affect the distribution of Schistosoma infections ...

Molluscicides against the snail-intermediate host of Schistosoma: a review

Parasitology Research, 2021
Schistosomiasis, a neglected tropical disease (NTD), is one of the most prevalent parasitoses in the World. Certain freshwater snail species are the intermediate host in the life cycle of schistosome species. Controlling snails employing molluscicides is
