Is there Immunity to Schistosoma japonicum?
Parasitology Today, 2000The Oriental schistosome, Schistosoma japonicum, unlike the other two major schistosomes that infect humans (S. mansoni and S. haematobium), is a zoonotic species. The transmission dynamics and the potential effects of host-related regulatory factors, including immunity, are likely to be distinct for this parasite.

Cyclophilin of Schistosoma japonicum
The Journal of Parasitology, 1992A 623-bp cDNA molecule encoding cyclophilin, a specific cyclosporin A-binding protein, has been isolated from Schistosoma japonicum using a heterologous cDNA probe from Echinococcus granulosus. The nucleotide sequence of this molecule has been determined, and the deduced amino acid sequence has revealed extensive homology with homologues of other ...

Comparative Effects of Hycanthone in Schistosoma Mansoni and Schistosoma Japonicum
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1977After in vitro hycanthone treatment followed by a 20-hour incubation in drug-free medium, Schistosoma mansoni were still resistant to labeling by a fluorescent analog of acetylcholine. S. japonicum, in contrast with the hycanthone sensitive species, showed prompt reversal of the blocking effects of hycanthone on fluorescent labeling.

Schistosoma mansoni and Schistosoma japonicum: Utilization of amino acids
International Journal for Parasitology, 1972Abstract 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, 1978Counterimmunoelectrophoresis (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, 1980Abstract The energy metabolism of Schistosoma japonicum has been summarized and discussed. Fluoroacetamide is used as a chemical probe to study this problem.

Schistosoma mansoni and Schistosoma japonicum: Oxygen uptake by miracidia
Experimental Parasitology, 1971Abstract 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, 2003In 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 ...

Exposed proteins of the Schistosoma japonicum tegument
International Journal for Parasitology, 2010The 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 japonicum: heterogeneity in paramyosin genes
Acta Tropica, 1995Paramyosin 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 ...
