Comparison of schistosoma mansoni soluble cercarial antigens and soluble egg antigens for serodiagnosing schistosome infections [PDF]

, 2011
A Schistosoma mansoni cercarial antigen preparation (cercarial transformation fluid – SmCTF) was evaluated for detection of anti-schistosome antibodies in human sera in 4 collaborating laboratories.

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 ...

Concomitant Immunity and Worm Senescence May Drive Schistosomiasis Epidemiological Patterns: An Eco-Evolutionary Perspective

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
In areas where human schistosomiasis is endemic, infection prevalence and egg output are known to rise rapidly through childhood, reach a peak at 8–15 years of age, and decline thereafter.

The evaluation of control measures against Schistosoma mekongi in Cambodia by a mathematical model [PDF]

, 2008
We constructed a mathematical model for the transmission of Schistosoma mekongi in Cambodia. The simulation of the model will be instrumental in planning schistosomiasis control measures.

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 ...

The essential schistosome tegumental ectoenzyme SmNPP5 can block NAD-induced T cell apoptosis

Virulence, 2020
Infection with intravascular platyhelminths of the genus Schistosoma can result in the debilitating disease schistosomiasis. Schistosomes (blood flukes) can survive in the host for many years.

Reconstructing colonization dynamics of the human parasite Schistosoma mansoni following anthropogenic environmental changes in northwest Senegal [PDF]

, 2015
Schistosoma parasites successfully colonize new regions following the construction of water schemes for power production or agricultural purposes. Here we investigated the colonization history of the human parasite Schistosoma mansoni in Northwest ...
