Schistosomal Lipids Activate Human Eosinophils via Toll-Like Receptor 2 and PGD2 Receptors: 15-LO Role in Cytokine Secretion

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
Parasite-derived lipids may play important roles in host-pathogen interactions and immune evasion mechanisms. Remarkable accumulation of eosinophils is a characteristic feature of inflammation associated with parasitic disease, especially caused by ...

Chemosterilization of Schistosoma mansoni [PDF]

Nature, 1968
THE range of chemical agents which can produce sterility in experimental male rodents is gradually increasing. (For recent surveys, see Jackson1,2.) The list includes nitroaromatic compounds, for example, nitrofuranes, nitrothiazoles and nitropyrroles, besides a variety of compounds of the alkylating category.
