Deficiency of PKCλ/ι alleviates the liver pathologic impairment of Schistosoma japonicum infection by thwarting Th2 response

Parasites & Vectors, 2022

The inhibitory effect against collagen-induced arthritis by Schistosoma japonicum infection is infection stage-dependent

BMC Immunology, 2010
Background A long-term existing schistosome infection can aid in maintaining immuno-homeostasis, thus providing protection against various types of autoimmune diseases to the infected host. Such benefits have often been associated with acute or egg stage

Schistosoma japonicum Associated With Colorectal Cancer

ACG Case Reports Journal, 2021
ABSTRACT Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide, with increasing prevalence in Asian countries with a crude incidence of 21.1 per 100,000. Schistosoma is a genus of trematodes that infect millions of humans, affecting multiple organs, notably the

The genetic variation of different developmental stages of Schistosoma japonicum: do the distribution in snails and pairing preference benefit the transmission?

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Background Schistosoma japonicum is a waterborne parasite that causes schistosomiasis in humans and in more than 40 animal species. Schistosoma japonicum shows distinct genetic differentiation among geographical populations and multiple hosts, but the ...

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 ...
