Susceptibility of Schistosoma japonicum to praziquantel in China [PDF]

Tropical Medicine & International Health, 2001
To look for possible evidence of the development of resistance in Schistosoma japonicum to praziquantel, we conducted a field study in China. During the non‐transmission period of schistosomiasis a random sample of 2860 individuals from six villages in three provinces of China were examined using a parasitological stool examination.

Schistosoma japonicum Infection Promotes the Response of Tfh Cells Through Down-Regulation of Caspase-3–Mediating Apoptosis

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
CD4+ T follicular helper (Tfh) cells, a new subset of immune cells, have been demonstrated to be involved in granulomatous responses to Schistosoma japonicum (S. japonicum) infection. However, the role and underlying mechanisms of Tfh cell aggregation in

Pathology and molecular mechanisms of Schistosoma japonicum-associated liver fibrosis

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Schistosomiasis has been widely disseminated around the world, and poses a significant threat to human health. Schistosoma eggs and soluble egg antigen (SEA) mediated inflammatory responses promote the formation of egg granulomas and liver fibrosis. With
