Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 Schistosomiasis remains a major global public health concern. Currently, the control of this neglected tropical disease still depends on chemotherapy to reduce the prevalence and intensity of the parasite infection. It has been widely accepted that praziquantel is highly effective against all species of Schistosoma, and this agent is virtually the only

Higher frequency of circulating Vδ1 γδT cells in patients with advanced schistosomiasis
Parasite Immunology, Volume 43, Issue 10-11, October/November 2021., 2021 Abstract Gamma‐delta (γδ) T cells are the bridge between natural and adaptive immunity. In the present study, peripheral blood was collected from 13 patients with advanced schistosomiasis (schistosomiasis group) and 13 uninfected people (control group) to investigate the γδ T cells and their subtypes in human schistosomiasis.
