Novel compounds targeting the adaptive immune system are commonly initially investigated in healthy volunteers (HV). HV frequently lack constitutively expressed drug‐target engagement biomarkers, complicating the evaluation of pharmacological activity. The keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) neo‐antigen challenge elicits a controlled immune response in HV ...

Schistosoma japonicum-Associated Colorectal Cancer: A Review.
Schistosoma japonicum is a digenetic blood fluke that has been implicated in the carcinogenesis of several human malignancies, notably liver and colorectal cancer (CRC). Schistosoma japonicum-associated colorectal cancer (SACC) is a distinct subtype with

Key Regulators of Parasite Biology Viewed Through a Post‐Translational Modification Repertoire
ABSTRACT Parasites are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in both humans and animals, imposing substantial socioeconomic burdens worldwide. Controlling parasitic diseases has become one of the key issues in achieving “One Health”. Most parasites have sophisticated life cycles exhibiting progressive developmental stages, morphologies, and ...

The Schistosoma Granuloma: Friend or Foe? [PDF]
Infection of man with Schistosoma species of trematode parasite causes marked chronic morbidity. Individuals that become infected with Schistosomes may develop a spectrum of pathology ranging from mild cercarial dermatitis to severe tissue inflammation, in particular within the liver and intestines, which can lead to life threatening hepatosplenomegaly.

ABSTRACT Helminths infect humans, livestock, and wildlife, yet remain understudied despite their significant impact on public health and agriculture. Because many of the most prevalent helminth‐borne diseases are zoonotic, understanding helminth transmission among wildlife could improve predictions and management of infection risks across species.

Antibodies to glycans dominate the host response to schistosome larvae and eggs: Is their role protective or subversive? [PDF]
Multiple exposures of chimpanzees to the radiation-attenuated schistosome vaccine provoked a strong parasite-specific cellular and humoral immune response. Specific IgM and IgG were directed mainly against glycans on antigens released by cercariae; these
