Exploring molecular variation in Schistosoma japonicum in China [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2015
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.

Paragonimiasis Diagnosed Through Detection of Parasitic Ova in Pleural Effusion: A Clinical Case Report

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 10, October 2025.
We report a rare case of paragonimiasis initially presenting with trauma. Initial imaging and laboratory findings were predominantly indicative of trauma and nonspecific inflammatory responses, which obscured the clues of parasitic infection. The definitive diagnosis was achieved through comprehensive epidemiological history collection and parasitic ...

Vaccines against the zoonotic trematodes Schistosoma japonicum, Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica [PDF]

, 2006
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 ...

Pharmacological Inhibition of c‐Jun N‐Terminal Kinase Activity Exacerbates Liver Damage in Schistosoma mansoni Infected Mice

Liver International, Volume 45, Issue 9, September 2025.
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 ...

Role of a mouse monoclonal IgE antibody in passive transfer of immunity to Schistosoma japonicum infection

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1987
We have been able to produce a mouse monoclonal IgE antibody specific to an adult worm antigen extracted from Schistosoma japonicum (Sj). The antibody was able to elicit passive cutaneous anaphylaxis in the rat skin against Sj with the highest titer of 1:

Sigmoid Schistosomiasis Granuloma Manifested as a Large Painless Supra‐Pubic Mass: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Schistosomiasis remains a prevalent parasitic disease in tropical and subtropical regions, ranking second to malaria in terms of parasitic burden. The disease manifests in two primary forms: urinary schistosomiasis, caused by Schistosoma haematobium, and intestinal schistosomiasis, associated with S. mansoni and S. japonicum.

Asian Schistosomiasis: Current Status and Prospects for Control Leading to Elimination

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2019
Schistosomiasis is an infectious disease caused by helminth parasites of the genus Schistosoma. Worldwide, an estimated 250 million people are infected with these parasites with the majority of cases occurring in sub-Saharan Africa.

Hybridisations within the genus Schistosoma: implications for evolution, epidemiology and control [PDF]

, 2016
SUMMARYHybridization of parasites is an emerging public health concern in our changing world. Hybridization and introgression in parasites and pathogens can have major impacts on the host and the epidemiology and evolution of disease.

Photodynamic therapy of cancer‐associated infections

Photochemistry and Photobiology, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 833-845, July/August 2025.
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 ...
