Praziquantel analogs with activity against juvenile Schistosoma mansoni.

, 2010
Six amide and four urea derivatives of praziquantel were synthesized and tested for antischistosomal activity against juvenile and adults stages of Schistosoma mansoni in infected mice. Only one of these had significant activity against adult worms, but,

Reduction of testosterone levels in Schistosoma haematobium- or Schistosoma mansoni-infected men: a cross-sectional study in two schistosomiasis-endemic areas of the Adamawa region of Cameroon

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2022
Background The incidence of schistosomiasis‐induced male reproductive dysfunction and infertility is probably underestimated compared to female genital schistosomiasis. This study aimed to investigate the impact of Schistosoma haematobium or S.

Can antibody conjugated nanomicelles alter the prospect of antibody targeted therapy against schistosomiasis mansoni?

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2023
BackgroundCLA (conjugated linoleic acid)-mediated activation of the schistosome tegument-associated sphingomyelinase and consequent disruption of the outer membrane might allow host antibodies to access the apical membrane antigens. Here, we investigated

Chlorination of Schistosoma mansoni cercariae

PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020
Schistosomiasis is a water-based disease acquired through contact with cercaria-infested water. Communities living in endemic regions often rely on parasite-contaminated freshwater bodies for their daily water contact activities, resulting in recurring schistosomiasis infection.
