Anti-embryonation immunity in murine schistosomiasis japonica (Philippines)
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 ...

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 ...

Low Transmission to Elimination: Rural Development as a Key Determinant of the End-Game Dynamics of Schistosoma japonicum in China. [PDF]
Rural development has been a critical component of China's economic miracle since the start of economic reform in the early 1980s, both benefiting from and contributing to the nation's rapid economic growth.

ABSTRACT Poor intrauterine growth has long‐term implications for child growth and nutritional status. Fetal malnutrition (FM) is a type of poor intrauterine growth defined by the presence of soft tissue wasting at birth and is identified using the Clinical Assessment of Nutritional Status Score (CANSCORE) tool, independent of gestational age.

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
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

Vaccines against the zoonotic trematodes Schistosoma japonicum, Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica [PDF]
Schistosoma japonicum, Fasciola hepatica and F. gigantica are digenetic trematodes and, therefore, possess similar life cycles. While schistosomiasis japonica has for a long time been recognised as a major disease of both humans and animals, infection ...

Schistosomes are the causative agent of schistosomiasis, which affects more than 200 million people worldwide. Unlike other trematode parasites, schistosomes (along with the Didymozoidae) have evolved separate sexes.

Wnt Signaling Pathway: Biological Function, Diseases, and Therapeutic Interventions
The Wnt signaling pathway is essential for development and tissue homeostasis, while its dysregulation drives diverse diseases. This review systematically outlines its components, functions, regulators, and preclinical models, highlighting secreted frizzled‐related proteins (SFRPs) as context‐dependent, biphasic modulators.

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 ...
