Silica Nanoparticles as Multifunctional Platforms for Vaccine Delivery and Immune Modulation in Infectious Diseases

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Overview of the use of silica nanoparticles in vaccines against pathogens. Different kinds of vaccines against infectious diseases are currently using solid or mesoporous silica nanoparticles in their formulation. Silica microparticles and nanoparticles (SiNPs) have been studied as vehicles for vaccines.

Schistosoma mansoni SmKI-1 serine protease inhibitor binds to elastase and impairs neutrophil function and inflammation

PLoS Pathogens, 2018
Protease inhibitors have important function during homeostasis, inflammation and tissue injury. In this study, we described the role of Schistosoma mansoni SmKI-1 serine protease inhibitor in parasite development and as a molecule capable of regulating ...

Interpreting ambiguous ‘trace’ results in Schistosoma mansoni CCA Tests: Estimating sensitivity and specificity of ambiguous results with no gold standard [PDF]

, 2017
Background The development of new diagnostics is an important tool in the fight against disease. Latent Class Analysis (LCA) is used to estimate the sensitivity and specificity of tests in the absence of a gold standard.

A PAL for Schistosoma mansoni PHM [PDF]

Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 2010
Parasitic helminth neuromuscular function is a proven target for chemotherapeutic control. Although neuropeptide signalling plays a key role in helminth motor function, it has not yet provided targets for known anthelmintics. The majority of biologically active neuropeptides display a C-terminal amide (NH(2)) motif, generated exclusively by the ...

Key Regulators of Parasite Biology Viewed Through a Post‐Translational Modification Repertoire

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Parasites are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in both humans and animals, imposing substantial socioeconomic burdens worldwide. Controlling parasitic diseases has become one of the key issues in achieving “One Health”. Most parasites have sophisticated life cycles exhibiting progressive developmental stages, morphologies, and ...

Enrichment of Helminth Mitochondrial Genomes From Faecal Samples Using Hybridisation Capture

Molecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT New approaches are urgently needed to enrich rare or low‐abundant DNA in complex samples. Soil‐transmitted helminths (STHs) inhabit heterogeneous environments, including the gastrointestinal tract of their host as adults and are excreted as eggs and larvae in faeces, complicating our understanding of their biology and the use of genetic tools ...

Diagnosis of \u3cem\u3eSchistosoma mansoni\u3c/em\u3e without the Stool: Comparison of Three Diagnostic Tests to Detect \u3cem\u3eSchiostosoma mansoni\u3c/em\u3e Infection from Filtered Urine in Zambia [PDF]

, 2013
Diagnosis for intestinal Schistosoma mansoni lacks sensitivity and is arduous to conduct. The standard diagnostic tests, Kato-Katz (KK) and circulating cathodic antigen (CCA) both lack sensitivity and with KK, require obtaining, transporting, and ...
