Non-equilibrium plasma prevention of Schistosoma japonicum transmission [PDF]

, 2016
Schistosoma japonicum is a widespread human and animal parasite that causes intestinal and hepatosplenic schistosomiasis linked to colon, liver and bladder cancers, and anemia.

Schistosoma japonicum extracellular vesicle proteins serve as effective biomarkers for diagnosing parasite infection

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
Schistosoma species are the causative agent of schistosomiasis and shows worldwide distribution. There is a great need to develop a sensitive diagnostic approach for controlling the disease.

SjTat-TPI facilitates adaptive T-cell responses and reduces hepatic pathology during Schistosoma japonicum infection in BALB/c mice

Parasites & Vectors, 2015
Background Schistosomiasis is a kind of parasitic zoonoses which causes serious damage to public health and social development. China is one of the countries most affected by Schistosoma japonicum and an effective vaccine is still needed.

Anti-embryonation immunity in murine schistosomiasis japonica (Philippines)

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1995
The hypothesis that granuloma modulation and disease abatement in chronic infection with Schistosoma japonicum could be ascribed to antibody-mediated effects on egg maturation and egg viability, arose from studies performed with mice in the Philippines ...

Parasite-derived circulating microRNAs as biomarkers for the detection of human Schistosoma japonicum infection [PDF]

, 2019
Novel tools for early diagnosis and monitoring of schistosomiasis are urgently needed. This study aimed to validate parasite-derived miRNAs as potential novel biomarkers for the detection of human Schistosoma japonicum infection.

JQ-1 ameliorates schistosomiasis liver granuloma in mice by suppressing male and female reproductive systems and egg development of Schistosoma japonicum.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2022
Schistosomiasis is a serious and widespread parasitic disease caused by infection with Schistosoma. Because the parasite's eggs are primarily responsible for schistosomiasis dissemination and pathogenesis, inhibiting egg production is a potential ...

A prognostic model for Schistosoma japonicum infection-associated liver hepatocellular carcinoma: strengthening the connection through initial biological experiments

Infectious Agents and Cancer
Background Numerous studies have shown that Schistosoma japonicum infection correlates with an increased risk of liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC). However, data regarding the role of this infection in LIHC oncogenesis are scarce. This study aimed to

Proliferation of MDSCs may indicate a lower CD4+ T cell immune response in schistosomiasis japonica

Parasite
Background: Schistosoma japonicum (S. japonicum) is the main species of Schistosoma prevalent in China. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are important immunoregulatory cells and generally expand in parasite infection, but there is little research

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry for differential identification of adult Schistosoma worms

Parasites & Vectors, 2023
Background Schistosomiasis is a major neglected tropical disease that affects up to 250 million individuals worldwide. The diagnosis of human schistosomiasis is mainly based on the microscopic detection of the parasite’s eggs in the feces (i.e., for ...
