Chromosomal differentiation of the Schistosoma japonicum complex

International Journal for Parasitology, 2000
The C-banding pattern, location of telomere sequence and chiasma frequency of four species of the Schistosoma japonicum complex were compared with those of two African species, Schistosoma mansoni and Schistosoma haematobium. In the six species, C-banding patterns of seven autosomes and the two sex chromosomes (Z and W) showed relatively species ...

The energy metabolism of Schistosoma japonicum

International Journal of Biochemistry, 1980
Abstract The energy metabolism of Schistosoma japonicum has been summarized and discussed. Fluoroacetamide is used as a chemical probe to study this problem.

Counterimmunoelectrophoresis in the Detection of Antibodies to Schistosoma Japonicum

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1978
Counterimmunoelectrophoresis (CIE) was used to detect antibodies to Schistosoma japonicum soluble egg antigen in 118 sera from people living in a schistosomiasis endemic area in the Philippines. The sera were also tested for antibodies by the circumoval precipitin test (COPT); 53% were found positive by CIE and 48% positive by COPT.

Origin and evolution of Schistosoma japonicum

Parasitology International, 2003
In his hypothesis on the coevolution of Asian schistosomes and snails, Davis implies that the ancestors of the Schistosoma japonicum and S. indicum species group were African and arrived in Asia via the Indian plate. This paper briefly reviews molecular phylogenetic relationships among species of the genus Schistosoma to test Davis' theory about the ...

Host Identification by Schistosoma japonicum Cercariae

The Journal of Parasitology, 1987
Attachment, the first phase of host identification by Schistosoma japonicum cercariae, can occur in 2 different ways. Cercariae clinging to the water surface simply swing around and transfer to the host skin. Free-swimming cercariae behave like S. mansoni: upon touching a substrate, they switch from tailward to forward movement, swim in an arc, and ...

Nutritional Requirements of Schistosoma japonicum Eggs

The Journal of Parasitology, 1983
Newly laid eggs of Schistosoma japonicum were cultured in a serum-free, chemically defined medium, RPMI 1640, which contained 20 amino acids, glutathione, 11 vitamins, and glucose in a balanced salt solution. The requirements for these components in the nutrition of the eggs was investigated by the deletion of single component from the medium.

HLA-typing in Schistosoma japonicum infection

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1988
Abstract : HLA-typing was recently performed on 41 schistosomiasis patients and 25 uninfected Filipino controls to investigate why patients have either cerebral or hepatic involvement. Neither the following tests HLA-B16, HLA-B40, nor other HLA-typing were significantly frequent in patients with cerebral schistosomiasis.

Schistosoma japonicum infection in pregnant mice

Journal of Helminthology, 1999
Ten 1-week and ten 2-weeks pregnant female NMRI mice were experimentally exposed to 70 Schistosoma japonicum cercariae. Ten littermice from each group were examined for worms by perfusion 4, 6 and 8 weeks post infection. Although the mothers (n = 15) were found infected with 15.5 ± 13.4 worms

Schistosoma japonicum: A method for transformation by electroporation

Experimental Parasitology, 2005
Despite of our knowledge of genetic make up of schistosomes, a number of genes have not been characterized largely due to lack of effective transformation protocols. Here we present electroporation as a strategy for effective introduction of plasmids DNA into schistosomula and adults.

Identification of long noncoding RNAs in Schistosoma mansoni and Schistosoma japonicum

Experimental Parasitology, 2018
Schistosomiasis is a major parasitic disease caused by 3 principal species of schistosome. Studies of schistosome transcriptomes have focused on protein-coding transcripts and although miRNAs are attracting increased attention, few reports have concerned the long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs).
