A nationwide retrospective study of the seroprevalence and risk factors of transfusion‐transmissible infections among blood donors in Nigeria

Transfusion Medicine, Volume 35, Issue 4, Page 374-384, August 2025.
Abstract Background Blood transfusion's life‐saving potential is often marred by the risks of transfusion‐transmissible infections (TTIs) from blood donors, for which sub‐Saharan African countries record some of the highest burdens. Aims We aimed to assess the seroprevalence of HBV, HCV, HIV, and Treponema pallidum among blood donors in Nigeria, and ...

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.

Characterization of hemolymph phenoloxidase activity in two Biomphalaria snail species and impact of Schistosoma mansoni infection

Parasites & Vectors, 2016
Biomphalaria snails are the intermediate host of the blood fluke Schistosoma mansoni, which infect more than 67 million people in tropical areas. Phenoloxidase enzymes (POs), including tyrosinases, catecholases, and laccases, are known to play a role in ...

Microhabitat preferences of Biomphalaria pfeifferi and Lymnaea natalensis in a natural and a man-made habitat in southeastern Tanzania. [PDF]

, 2000
Schistosoma mansoni is an important human parasitic disease which is widespread throughout Africa. As Biomphalaria pfeifferi snails act as intermediate host, knowledge of their population ecology is an essential prerequisite towards understanding disease

Remote Control of Eukaryotic Gene Expression by a Modular Ultrasound‐Responsive RNA Toolkit

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 137, Issue 29, July 14, 2025.
A modular RNA‐based sonogenetic toolkit enables remote control of gene expression in eukaryotes by releasing small molecule modulators from ultrasound‐responsive carriers. These modulators activate engineered mRNA elements such as riboswitches, leading to tunable protein expression.

Histological assessment of granulomas in natural and experimental Schistosoma mansoni infections using whole slide imaging

PLoS ONE, 2017
The pathology of schistosomiasis mansoni, a neglected tropical disease of great clinical and socioeconomic importance, results from the parasite eggs that become trapped in host tissues, particularly in the liver and intestines.

Isolation and characterization of the full-length cDNA encoding a member of a novel cytochrome p450 family (CYP320A1) from the tropical freshwater snail, Biomphalaria glabrata, intermediate host for Schistosoma mansoni [PDF]

, 2005
Cytochrome p450s (cyp450s) are a family of structurally related proteins, with diverse functions, including steroid synthesis and breakdown of toxins. This paper reports the full-length sequence of a novel cyp450 gene, the first to be isolated from the ...

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.

Schistosome serine protease inhibitors: parasite defense or homeostasis?

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2011
Serpins are a structurally conserved family of macromolecular inhibitors found in numerous biological systems. The completion and annotation of the genomes of Schistosoma mansoni and Schistosoma japonicum has enabled the identification by phylogenetic ...
