Non-coding RNAs in schistosomes: an unexplored world [PDF]
, 2011 Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) were recently given much higher attention due to technical advances in sequencing which expanded the characterization of transcriptomes in different organisms. ncRNAs have different lengths (22 nt to >1, 000 nt) and mechanisms of

Histopathological Study of Wistar Rat Liver Infected with Schistosoma japonicum
WMJ (Warmadewa Medical Journal)Schistosoma, including Schistosoma japonicum (S. japonicum), can live with an intermediate host, such as rats, and infect mammals, such as humans and rats. We can use a rat model to understand the pathophysiology of Schistosoma. The aim of this study is

Release of extracellular vesicles containing small RNAs from the eggs of Schistosoma japonicum
Parasites & Vectors, 2016 Background Schistosoma japonicum is a parasitic flatworm that causes human schistosomiasis. Secreted extracellular vesicles (EVs) play a key role in pathogen-host interfaces. Previous studies have shown that S. japonicum adult worms can release microRNA (
