Enrichment of Helminth Mitochondrial Genomes From Faecal Samples Using Hybridisation Capture

Molecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT New approaches are urgently needed to enrich rare or low‐abundant DNA in complex samples. Soil‐transmitted helminths (STHs) inhabit heterogeneous environments, including the gastrointestinal tract of their host as adults and are excreted as eggs and larvae in faeces, complicating our understanding of their biology and the use of genetic tools ...

Remote Control of Eukaryotic Gene Expression by a Modular Ultrasound‐Responsive RNA Toolkit

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 137, Issue 29, July 14, 2025.
A modular RNA‐based sonogenetic toolkit enables remote control of gene expression in eukaryotes by releasing small molecule modulators from ultrasound‐responsive carriers. These modulators activate engineered mRNA elements such as riboswitches, leading to tunable protein expression.

Hepatitis G Virus Infection in Patients with Hepatitis C

Journal of High Institute of Public Health, 2010
Hepatitis G virus (HGV) infection is a worldwide health problem causing acute and chronic non A- E hepatitis. Because HGV and hepatitis C virus (HCV) share same modes of transmission, co-infection with the two viruses is not uncommon especially among ...

Differentiation of Schistosoma haematobium from related schistosomes by PCR amplifying an inter-repeat sequence. [PDF]

, 2007
Schistosoma haematobium infects nearly 150 million people, primarily in Africa, and is transmitted by select species of local bulinid snails. These snails can host other related trematode species as well, so that effective detection and monitoring of ...

The Aetiology of Elevated Total Serum Immunoglobulin E in Children

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim The paucity of real‐world data on the aetiology of elevated total serum immunoglobulin E (TS‐IgE) in children afflicts families and health care systems with diagnostic uncertainty. We explored a cohort of children with TS‐IgE levels over 1000 kU/L, focusing on the prevalence of atopic and non‐atopic conditions, the aetiology of extremely ...

Peptide-Alkoxyamine Drugs: An Innovative Approach to Fight Schistosomiasis: “Digging Their Graves with Their Forks”

Pathogens
The expansion of drug resistant parasites sheds a serious concern on several neglected parasitic diseases. Our recent results on cancer led us to envision the use of peptide-alkoxyamines as a highly selective and efficient new drug against schistosome ...

The association of Schistosoma mansoni infection with hepatocellular carcinoma

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 1984
The association of Schistosoma mansoni infection with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) was studied in Espirito Santo State, Brazil. Schistosoma infection was diagnosed by stool examinations or by histological finding at autopsy. HCC was diagnosed by biopsy,

Animal medical systems from Apis to apes: history, recent advances and future perspectives

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Animal medical systems encompass a wide range of behaviours aimed at maintaining or improving health. It has become clear that these behaviours are not limited to animals treating themselves (self‐medication) but also include the treatment of group members, resulting in the adoption of the more inclusive term “animal medication”.
