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 ...

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 ...

Hepatic stellate cells and parasite-induced liver fibrosis [PDF]
, 2010 : Fibrogenesis is a common feature of many diseases where there is severe insult to the liver. The hepatic stellate cell trans-differentiation into a myofibroblast has been identified as an important event in liver fibrogenesis and has been well ...

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).

A role for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors in the immunopathology of schistosomiasis? [PDF]
, 2012 Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) have been demonstrated to have a role in immune regulation. In general, they are anti-inflammatory and promote Th2 type responses, and they are associated with the alternative activation of macrophages.

Hemolytic factors in Schistosoma japonicum eggs [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1984 Extracts of Schistosoma japonicum eggs were found to exhibit hemolytic activity on erythrocytes of various species. The hemolytic reaction took place more rapidly at 37 degrees C than at 4 degrees C and did not require divalent cations. The degree of hemolysis was dependent on the concentration of the egg extracts.
