Effects of Different Living Environments on Intestinal Flora in Patients With Schistosoma Japonicum‐Induced Liver Fibrosis [PDF]
Different living environments have a significant impact on the gut microbiota of patients with Schistosoma japonicum. ABSTRACT Schistosomiasis japonica is a parasitic disease leading to liver cirrhosis. China's “fishermen going ashore” policy divides patients with schistosomiasis liver fibrosis into two groups: those near the infected waters and those ...

Single‐Cell and Spatial Transcriptomics Unveil Key Regulators Governing Cell Differentiation for Schistosoma japonicum Sexual Development [PDF]
Using single‐cell and spatial transcriptomics, we identified key regulators that govern cell differentiation involved in parasite development and egg laying in Schistosoma japonicum. This comprehensive study establishes a foundational resource for understanding schistosome biology, deciphers the regulatory programs underlying cell differentiation and ...

Optimisation and analytical assessment of a TaqMan™ probe-based real-time PCR assay designed to diagnose infection with Schistosoma japonicum [PDF]
Background Intestinal schistosomiasis, caused by infection with Schistosoma japonicum, remains a zoonotic neglected tropical disease (NTD) of significant public health importance in parts of China, the Philippines, and Indonesia.

Species-specific detection of Schistosoma japonicum using the ‘SNAILS’ DNA-based biosensor [PDF]
The neglected tropical disease schistosomiasis continues to be a global health concern, especially in low- and middle-income countries, with at least 250 million people infected worldwide and a further 779 million at risk of infection.

A Magnetic-Assisted CRISPR-Cas12a Biosensor Incorporating a Y-DNA Probe for Sensitive Detection of Schistosoma japonicum Eggs [PDF]
Schistosomiasis, caused by Schistosoma species, is notoriously difficult to accurately diagnose with conventional methods. In this study, we present an innovative biosensor that integrates CRISPR–Cas12a technology with nucleic acid aptamers for the ...

Histopathological Study of Wistar Rat Liver Infected with Schistosoma japonicum [PDF]
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

Evaluation of Suitable Reference Gene During the Development of Paired or Unpaired Female Schistosoma japonicum on the 18th and the 23rd Days Post Infection [PDF]
Background: Identifying optimal housekeeping genes is essential to accurately quantify gene expression dynamics across the 18th day (male and female begin to pair) and the 23rd day (female begin to sex mature) post infection of Schistosoma japonicum ...

Cloning and Characterisation of Schistosoma japonicum Insulin Receptors [PDF]
Schistosomes depend for growth and development on host hormonal signals, which may include the insulin signalling pathway. We cloned and assessed the function of two insulin receptors from Schistosoma japonicum in order to shed light on their role in schistosome biology.We isolated, from S. japonicum, insulin receptors 1 (SjIR-1) and 2 (SjIR-2) sharing
