Schistosomiasis‐Associated Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension in Brazil: A Call to Action for Enhanced Diagnostic Recognition—2025 Pulmonary Vascular Research Institute Infection in Pulmonary Vascular Disease Consortium Perspectives

Pulmonary Circulation, Volume 16, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Schistosomiasis‐associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (Sch‐PAH) is one of the most frequent etiologies of pulmonary arterial hypertension in Brazil and globally. The disease is a complication of hepatosplenic schistosomiasis characterized by portal hypertension, egg deposition, and granuloma formation in the pulmonary arteries leading to ...

Helminth Infections: Recognition and Modulation of the Immune Response by Innate Immune Cells [PDF]

, 2018
The survival of helminths in the host over long periods of time is the result of a process of adaptation or dynamic co-evolution between the host and the parasite. However, infection with helminth parasites causes damage to the host tissues producing the

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.

Pulmonary involvement in Schistosomiasis mansoni [PDF]

Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1987
The post-treatment pulmonary alterations were evaluated in patients (Study 1) and in mice (Study 2) infected with Schistosoma mansoni. Study 1: the patients were examined pre and post-treatment (with ora oxamniquine) and the following exams were performed: sputum for eosinophils and chest x-ray.

Helminths as architects of trained tolerance: implications for human health

Clinical &Translational Immunology, Volume 15, Issue 3, 2026.
Abstract Helminths infect nearly 2 billion people worldwide and are a major cause of chronic morbidity in low‐resource regions. Unlike bacterial and viral pathogens that elicit protective memory, helminths actively remodel host immunity to enable their years‐long persistence and reinfection.

Schistosomiasis transmission in Zimbabwe: Modelling based on machine learning

Infectious Disease Modelling
Zimbabwe, located in Southern Africa, faces a significant public health challenge due to schistosomiasis. We investigated this issue with emphasis on risk prediction of schistosomiasis for the entire population. To this end, we reviewed available data on

Evidence for Integrin – Venus Kinase Receptor 1 Alliance in the Ovary of Schistosoma mansoni Females Controlling Cell Survival [PDF]

, 2017
Parasites of the genus Schistosoma cause schistosomiasis, a life-threatening infectious disease for humans and animals worldwide. Among the remarkable biological features of schistosomes is the differentiation of the female gonads which is controlled by ...

Experimental Chemotherapy of Schistosomiasis mansoni [PDF]

, 1968
In mice experimentally infected with Schistosoma mansoni, praziquantel (2-cyclohexylcarbonyl-1,3,4,6,7,11b-hexahydro-2H-pyrazino[2,1-a]isoquinoline-4-one), administered orally at the levels of 100 and 50 mg/kg, for 5 consecutive days, produced oogram changes in all animals and a pronounced hepatic shift of schistosomes (97.1 and 89.1, respectively).
