Comparison Between Phenotypic Profile and Functional Aspects of IL‐9‐Producing Lymphocytes, Th17 and Tfh of Individuals From Endemic and Non‐Endemic Areas for Hookworm Infection

Parasite Immunology, Volume 48, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Hookworm infections remain a major public health concern in endemic areas, modulating both the adaptive and innate immune systems. While the type 2 response is well‐characterised, the roles of T follicular helper (Tfh), Th17, and IL‐9‐producing lymphocytes remain poorly defined.

Prevalence and factors associated with Schistosoma mansoni infection among primary school children in Kersa District, Eastern Ethiopia [PDF]

PeerJ
Background Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease and an important parasite negatively impacting socio-economic factors. Ethiopia’s Federal Ministry of Health targeted the elimination of schistosomiasis infection in school-aged children by 2020.

Protein and small non-coding RNA-enriched extracellular vesicles are released by the pathogenic blood fluke Schistosoma mansoni

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, 2015
Background Penetration of skin, migration through tissues and establishment of long-lived intravascular partners require Schistosoma parasites to successfully manipulate definitive host defences.

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 3, 15 February 2026.
Workflow for discovering parasitological and molecular changes related to Schistosoma mansoni infection. ABSTRACT Parasites can induce changes in their hosts, favoring the success of the infection and its development at each stage of their life cycle.

A quantitative proteomic analysis of the tegumental proteins from Schistosoma mansoni schistosomula reveals novel potential therapeutic targets.

International Journal of Parasitology, 2015
The tegument of Schistosoma mansoni plays an integral role in host-parasite interactions, particularly during the transition from the free-living cercariae to the intra-mammalian schistosomula stages.

Biochemical, coagulation, and platelet count profiles among Schistosoma mansoni infected patients attending at selected Dembiya health institutions, Northwest Ethiopia

BMC Microbiology
Background Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease that causes coagulation disorders and biochemical abnormalities. This is due to liver failure, platelet destruction, disruption of blood flow, and endothelial function by the schistosomes.

Schistosomal peritonitis secondary to perforated appendicitis

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2010
In Tanzania, Schistosoma mansoni is endemic and causes intestinal schistosomiasis which affects various internal organs. However, worldwide there have been very few reports of cases of peritonitis due to schistosomal appendicitis.

Cardamonin, a schistosomicidal chalcone from Piper aduncum L. (Piperaceae) that inhibits Schistosoma mansoni ATP diphosphohydrolase.

Phytomedicine, 2015
BACKGROUND Schistosomiasis is one of the world's major public health problems, and praziquantel (PZQ) is the only available drug to treat this neglected disease with an urgent demand for new drugs.
