Schistosoma mansoni and Schistosoma japonicum: Utilization of amino acids

International Journal for Parasitology, 1972
Abstract Bruce J. I. , Ruff M. D. , Belusko R. J. and Werner J. K. 1972. Schistosoma mansoni and Schistosoma japonicum : utilization of amino acids. International Journal for Parasitology 2: 425–430. The production of 14 CO 2 from 12 labeled amino acids by S. mansoni and S. japonicum was studied.

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.

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.

Exposed proteins of the Schistosoma japonicum tegument

International Journal for Parasitology, 2010
The ability of the mammalian blood fluke Schistosoma japonicum to survive in the inhospitable environment of the mammalian bloodstream can be attributed, at least in part, to its host-exposed outer surface, called the tegument. The tegument is a dynamic organ and is involved in nutrition, immune evasion and modulation, excretion, osmoregulation and ...

Schistosoma mansoni and Schistosoma japonicum: Oxygen uptake by miracidia

Experimental Parasitology, 1971
Abstract The respiration of miracidia of Schistosoma mansoni and the Japanese, Philippine, and Formosan strains of S. japonicum was measured in the presence and absence of 0.001 m glucose at 1 and 5 hr after hatching. Aging increased the oxygen consumption of miracidia of S. mansoni and the Japanese and Formosan strains of S. japonicum when

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 ...

Schistosoma japonicum: heterogeneity in paramyosin genes

Acta Tropica, 1995
Paramyosin is an integral muscle protein found in many invertebrates including schistosomes, and is considered an important candidate vaccine antigen in schistosomiasis. The characterisation of natural molecular variation in vaccine antigens including paramyosin is important because strain-specific vaccination may be necessary against schistosomiasis ...

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 ...

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 at perfusion 6 and 7 weeks post infection, no worms were ...

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.
