Analysis and characterization of the genes encoding the Dicer and Argonaute proteins of Schistosoma japonicum

Parasites & Vectors, 2010
Background The Dicer and Argonaute(AGO) proteins within the small RNA regulatory pathways (SRRPs) play an indispensable role in regulation of gene expression.

Schistosoma japonicum cathepsin B2 (SjCB2) facilitates parasite invasion through the skin

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020
Cercariae invasion of the human skin is the first step in schistosome infection. Proteases play key roles in this process. However, little is known about the related hydrolytic enzymes in Schistosoma japonicum.

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

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.

Point of Care Diagnosis of Multiple Schistosome Parasites: Species-specific DNA Detection in Urine by Loop-mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) [PDF]

, 2017
Schistosomes are easily transmitted and high chance of repeat infection, so if control strategies based on targeted mass drug administration (MDA) are to succeed it is essential to have a test that is sensitive, accurate and simple to use.

RNA sequencing analysis of altered expression of long noncoding RNAs associated with Schistosoma japonicum infection in the murine liver and spleen

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Background Schistosomiasis is a chronic, debilitating infectious disease caused by members of the genus Schistosoma . Previous findings have suggested a relationship between infection with Schistosoma spp.

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 ...

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 ...

Mechanisms of Resistance to Schistosoma japonicum Infection in Microtus fortis, the Natural Non-permissive Host

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Human schistosomiasis, which is caused by schistosomes, is a zoonosis that is difficult to control because of the many reservoir hosts. However, Microtus fortis is the only mammal that is naturally resistant to Schistosoma japonicum infection known in ...
