Prevalence and Associated Factors of Schistosoma mansoni and Other Intestinal Helminthes Co‐Infection Among Malaria Positive Patients in Malaria Endemic Areas of Northeast, Ethiopia: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Schistosoma mansoni and malaria share a similar epidemiological distribution or co‐endemicity. Co‐infection are a global public health burden where epidemiological evidence is crucial to taking evidence‐based intervention. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and associated factors of Schistosoma mansoni

Oxidative Stress in Children and Adolescents: Insights Into Human Biology

American Journal of Human Biology, Volume 37, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT Oxidative stress (OS) is a key biological challenge and selective pressure for organisms with aerobic metabolism. The result of the imbalance between reactive oxygen species production and antioxidant defense, OS can damage proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids and plays an important role in driving variation in biological aging and health ...

Human Schistosome Infection and Allergic Sensitisation [PDF]

, 2012
Several field studies have reported an inverse relationship between the prevalence of helminth infections and that of allergic sensitisation/atopy. Recent studies show that immune responses induced by helminth parasites are, to an extent, comparable to ...

Precision Medicine for Pulmonary Vascular Disease: The Future Is Now (2023 Grover Conference Series)

Pulmonary Circulation, Volume 15, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT Pulmonary vascular disease is not a single condition; rather it can accompany a variety of pathologies that impact the pulmonary vasculature. Applying precision medicine strategies to better phenotype, diagnose, monitor, and treat pulmonary vascular disease is increasingly possible with the growing accessibility of powerful clinical and ...

Association of Schistosoma mansoni-Specific IgG and IgE Antibody Production and Clinical Schistosomiasis Status in a Rural Area of Minas Gerais, Brazil

PLoS ONE, 2014
Background Studies in murine models and human populations have indicated that the collagen-rich granulomatous response against parasite eggs trapped in the liver is associated with the development of severe hepatosplenic schistosomiasis, characterized by

Antibodies to glycans dominate the host response to schistosome larvae and eggs: Is their role protective or subversive? [PDF]

, 2001
Multiple exposures of chimpanzees to the radiation-attenuated schistosome vaccine provoked a strong parasite-specific cellular and humoral immune response. Specific IgM and IgG were directed mainly against glycans on antigens released by cercariae; these

Evaluation of a 25-Year-Program for the Control of Schistosomiasis Mansoni in an Endemic Area in Brazil

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2011
Background Various studies showed that chemotherapy can control schistosomiasis morbidity, but association of measures (water supply, sewage disposal and increase of socioeconomic conditions) is necessary for transmission control.

Mouse model of Schistosomiasis: infection with Schistosoma mansoni in CD-1 mice [PDF]

, 2019
Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease that affects almost 240 million worldwide. CD1 mice were infected with cercariae of S. mansoni, after which infection developed for 8 weeks. Tissues were processed to immuno-histological techniques.
