Schistosoma mansoni co-infection in tuberculosis patients with or without human immunodeficiency virus and factors associated with treatment outcomes: a prospective cohort study [PDF]

BMC Infectious Diseases
Background Tuberculosis (TB) has resurfaced as the leading cause of death by an infectious agent after the COVID-19 pandemic. The fight against TB needs to consider factors associated with mycobacterial reactivation and treatment of TB disease.

CARBOHYDRATE METABOLISM OF SCHISTOSOMA MANSONI [PDF]

Journal of General Physiology, 1950
1. Schistosoma mansoni utilizes in 1 hour an amount of glucose equivalent to one-sixth to one-fifth of its dry weight. Over 80 per cent of the metabolized glucose is converted to lactic acid by this organism. 2. The rates of glucose utilization and of lactic acid production by S.

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.

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.

Crystal structure of Schistosoma mansoni cathepsin D1 in complex with a nanobody reveals the conformation of the propeptide-bound state. [PDF]

Acta Crystallogr D Struct Biol
Structural characterization of S. mansoni cathepsin D1 in complex with a nanobody reveals the conformation of the propeptide‐bound state and identifies a schistosome‐specific epitope.Schistosoma mansoni cathepsin D1 (SmCD1) has been shown to be an essential enzyme for helminth metabolism due to its role in haemoglobin degradation: a key amino‐acid ...

Characterization, cloning and immunogenicity of antigens released by transforming cercariae of Schistosoma mansoni [PDF]

, 2000
A schistosome infection is initiated when the parasite penetrates the skin of a susceptible host. Relatively large quantities of protein are released by transforming cercariae compared to later larval stages.
