Schistosoma Species and Hybrid Genotyping With a Field Deployable Multi‐Marker Amplicon Panel
Current Protocols, Volume 6, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Schistosomes are parasitic trematode worms of the genus Schistosoma, responsible for causing urogenital and intestinal schistosomiasis. Six primary species infect humans: S. mansoni, S. japonicum, S. mekongi, S. intercalatum, S. guineensis, and S. haematobium. In addition, several species including S. bovis, S. curassoni, and S.

The Schistosoma mansoni transcriptome: An update [PDF]
Experimental Parasitology, 2007 Large scale EST sequencing projects have been carried out for Schistosoma mansoni and Schistosoma japonicum. This update will briefly review the most recent accomplishments in the area and discuss the use of EST data for the purposes of gene discovery, gene model development, genome annotation and SNP analysis. In addition, the use of ESTs for studying
