Schistosoma mansoni.

Trends in Parasitology, 2020
proteinase similar to mammalian lysosomal cathepsin B, proposed to be a key enzyme in schistosome metabolism. Protein Sm32 has been identified as a putative cysteine proteinase termed a 'haemoglobinase'.

Non-typhoidal Salmonella intestinal carriage in a Schistosoma mansoni endemic community in a rural area of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020
BACKGROUND:Clinical observations and animal studies have suggested that Salmonella intestinal carriage is promoted by concurrent Schistosoma infection.

Prevalence of malaria and Schistosoma mansoni coinfection in sub Saharan Africa: A systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]

Parasite Epidemiology and Control
Background: Malaria and schistosomiasis are two parasite illnesses that share transmission sites in distinct tropical climates. Malaria-schistosomiasis coinfection is widespread in Africa.

Unveiling the anti-neoplastic potential of Schistosoma mansoni-derived antigen against breast cancer: a pre-clinical study [PDF]

European Journal of Medical Research
Background Cancer is a global health concern, with millions of new cases and deaths annually. Recently, immunotherapy has strengthened cancer treatment by harnessing the body's immune system to fight cancer. The search for advanced cancer immunotherapies

Does Schistosoma Mansoni Facilitate Carcinogenesis?

Cells, 2021
Schistosomiasis is one of the most prominent parasite-induced infectious diseases, causing tremendous medical and socioeconomic problems. Current studies have reported on the spread of endemic regions and the fear of development of resistance against ...

Sensitivity and Specificity of Multiple Kato-Katz Thick Smears and a Circulating Cathodic Antigen Test for Schistosoma mansoni Diagnosis Pre- and Post-repeated-Praziquantel Treatment [PDF]

, 2014
Two Kato-Katz thick smears (Kato-Katzs) from a single stool are currently recommended for diagnosing Schistosoma mansoni infections to map areas for intervention. This ‘gold standard’ has low sensitivity at low infection intensities.

A single-cell RNA-seq atlas of Schistosoma mansoni identifies a key regulator of blood feeding

Science, 2020
Schistosome biology illuminated Schistosomiasis is caused by a parasitic flatworm about which little is known. Therefore, options to combat human disease caused by schistosome infection are limited.

The effects of subcurative praziquantel treatment on life-history traits and trade-offs in drug-resistant Schistosoma mansoni [PDF]

, 2016
Natural selection acts on all organisms, including parasites, to maximise reproductive fitness. Drug resistance traits are often associated with life-history costs in the absence of treatment.
