Exploring molecular variation in Schistosoma japonicum in China [PDF]
AbstractSchistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease that affects more than 200 million people worldwide. The main disease-causing agents, Schistosoma japonicum, S. mansoni and S. haematobium, are blood flukes that have complex life cycles involving a snail intermediate host. In Asia, S.

Experimental Schistosoma Japonicum-Induced Pulmonary Hypertension
BackgroundSchistosomiasis, a major cause of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) worldwide, is most clearly described complicating infection by one species,Schistosoma mansoni. Controlled exposure of mice can be used to induce Type 2 inflammation-dependentS.mansonipulmonary hypertension (PH).

Key Regulators of Parasite Biology Viewed Through a Post‐Translational Modification Repertoire
ABSTRACT Parasites are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in both humans and animals, imposing substantial socioeconomic burdens worldwide. Controlling parasitic diseases has become one of the key issues in achieving “One Health”. Most parasites have sophisticated life cycles exhibiting progressive developmental stages, morphologies, and ...

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

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 ...

Photodynamic therapy of cancer‐associated infections
Pathogens can be involved in tumor initiation, promotion and progression through different mechanisms, and their treatment can prevent new cancer cases, improve outcomes, and revert poor‐prognostic phenotypes. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) successfully treats different types of cancers and infections, and, therefore, has a unique potential to address ...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease affecting more than 250 million people worldwide. Eggs of the parasitic helminth S. mansoni cause major morbidity in the liver, spleen and intestine. Of note, egg‐released soluble antigens (SEA) induce the transcription factor c‐Jun in hepatocytes, promoting hepatocellular ...
