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

A Persistent Hotspot of Schistosoma mansoni Infection in a Five-Year Randomized Trial of Praziquantel Preventative Chemotherapy Strategies

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2017
During a trial of preventive chemotherapy strategies, a hotspot of Schistosoma mansoni infection was found. Significant differences between hotspot and nonhotspot villages were found after 1 year.
