Single-sex schistosome infections of definitive hosts: Implications for epidemiology and disease control in a changing world [PDF]
, 2018 Parasites of the genus Schistosoma cause schistosomiasis, a life-threatening infectious disease for humans and animals worldwide. Among the remarkable biological features of schistosomes is the differentiation of the female gonads which is controlled by ...

Functional characterisation of Schistosoma japonicum acetylcholinesterase [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2016 Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is an important metabolic enzyme of schistosomes present in the musculature and on the surface of the blood stage where it has been implicated in the modulation of glucose scavenging from mammalian host blood. As both a target for the antischistosomal drug metrifonate and as a potential vaccine candidate, AChE has been ...

Bionomik Schistosoma japonicum pada Mencit (Mus musculus) di Laboratorium
Jurnal Vektor Penyakit, 2017 Schistosomiasis is still a public health problem in endemic areas. Schistosomiasis in Indonesia was distributed in Napu, Lindu, and Bada Highlands. Schistosomiasis control was complex because so many aspect were related with schistosoma life cycle.

Testicular schistosomiasis mimicking tumour
International Brazilian Journal of Urology, 2004 Schistosomiasis or bilharziasis is a disease caused by Schistosoma. When infecting men the most common parasites are Schistosoma mansoni, Schistosoma japonicum and Schistosoma haematobium.

Quantitative detection of Schistosoma japonicum cercariae in water by real-time PCR. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2008 In China alone, an estimated 30 million people are at risk of schistosomiasis, caused by the Schistosoma japonicum parasite. Disease has re-emerged in several regions that had previously attained transmission control, reinforcing the need for active ...

Salmonella typhimurium Infection Reduces Schistosoma japonicum Worm Burden in Mice
Scientific Reports, 2017 Coinfection of microorganisms is a common phenomenon in humans and animals. In order to further our understanding of the progress of coinfection and the possible interaction between different pathogens, we have built a coinfection mouse model with ...

TLR2 directing PD-L2 expression inhibit T cells response in Schistosoma japonicum infection. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) was shown to be an important immune receptor involved in the recognition of schistosome antigens, especially soluble egg antigen (SEA).
