Differential recognition patterns of Schistosoma haematobium adult worm antigens by the human antibodies IgA, IgE, IgG1 and IgG4 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Schistosoma haematobium antigen recognition profiles of the human isotypes IgA, IgE, IgG1 and IgG4 were compared by image analysis of western blots. Adult worm antigens separated by 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis were probed with pooled sera from ...

Screening trematodes for novel intervention targets: a proteomic and immunological comparison of Schistosoma haematobium, Schistosoma bovis and Echinostoma caproni [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
With the current paucity of vaccine targets for parasitic diseases, particularly those in childhood, the aim of this study was to compare protein expression and immune cross-reactivity between the trematodes <i>Schistosoma haematobium</i> ...

CD4+ T-cell counts, CD4+/CD8+ T-cell count ratios, and antibody levels in migrant fishermen infected with Schistosoma japonicum in the Dongting Lake, China. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
In this study, CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells and antibody levels were measured in 94 migrant fishermen infected with Schistosoma japonicum from Dongting Lake, China. Prevalence among these fishermen was high (63.8%), with a mean infection intensity of 61.4 +/

Toward measuring Schistosoma response to praziquantel treatment with appropriate descriptors of egg excretion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The control of schistosomiasis emphasizes preventive chemotherapy with praziquantel, which aims at decreasing infection intensity and thus morbidity in individuals, as well as transmission in communities.

Praziquantel analogs with activity against juvenile Schistosoma mansoni.

open access: yes, 2010
Six amide and four urea derivatives of praziquantel were synthesized and tested for antischistosomal activity against juvenile and adults stages of Schistosoma mansoni in infected mice. Only one of these had significant activity against adult worms, but,

Efficacy and safety of praziquantel in preschool-aged children in an area co-endemic for Schistosoma mansoni and S. haematobium [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
BACKGROUND: In sub-Saharan Africa the recommended strategy to control schistosomiasis is preventive chemotherapy. Emphasis is placed on school-aged children, but in high endemicity areas, preschool-aged children are also at risk, and hence might need ...
