Crystal structure of Schistosoma mansoni cathepsin D1 in complex with a nanobody reveals the conformation of the propeptide‐bound state

Acta Crystallographica Section D, Volume 82, Issue 2, Page 140-150, February 2026.
Structural characterization of S. mansoni cathepsin D1 in complex with a nanobody reveals the conformation of the propeptide‐bound state and identifies a schistosome‐specific epitope.Schistosoma mansoni cathepsin D1 (SmCD1) has been shown to be an essential enzyme for helminth metabolism due to its role in haemoglobin degradation: a key amino‐acid ...

Between Droughts and Floods: The Seasonal Response of Freshwater Snails in Artificial Reservoirs in the Brazilian Semiarid Region

Population Ecology, Volume 68, Issue 1, January 2026.
We investigate the seasonal dynamics of two freshwater snails, Biomphalaria straminea and Melanoides tuberculata, in artificial reservoirs of the Brazilian semiarid region. Despite regulated hydrology, B. straminea exhibited strong seasonal fluctuations associated with dry periods, while M. tuberculata maintained stable populations throughout the year,

Genital schistosomiasis mansoni concomitant to genital tumor in areas of low endemicity: challenging diagnosis

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2011
Genital infection by Schistosoma mansoni is usually misdiagnosed in individuals who reside in, or travel to endemic areas. We describe two cases of genital tumor associated with S. mansoni infection manifested by methrorragy.

Sex in Immune Cells and Parasitic Diseases — A Complex Relationship

Immunological Reviews, Volume 337, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Epidemiological studies consistently show that many parasitic diseases affect males more frequently than females. These disparities are multifactorial, arising partly from gender‐specific behaviors that influence exposure risk and health‐seeking practices, especially in low‐ and middle‐income countries. Increasing evidence also highlights that

Effect of maternal Schistosoma mansoni infection and praziquantel treatment during pregnancy on Schistosoma mansoni infection and immune responsiveness among offspring at age five years.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2013
IntroductionOffspring of Schistosoma mansoni-infected women in schistosomiasis-endemic areas may be sensitised in-utero. This may influence their immune responsiveness to schistosome infection and schistosomiasis-associated morbidity.

Schistosomiasis Burden and Its Association With Lower Measles Vaccine Responses in School Children From Rural Cameroon

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Background and Methods: Schistosomiasis is debilitating and reported to impair immune responsiveness of infected hosts. In Cameroon, mass drug administration (MDA) is used in schoolchildren to reduce transmission of S. haematobium and S. mansoni.

Intestinal schistosomiasis in remote areas of Southwest Ethiopia, a target region for large-scale mass drug administration

Scientific Reports
As 2030 approaches, the World Health Organization’s due date for ending intestinal schistosomiasis as a public health problem in all endemic areas, understanding the current trends in the burden of schistosomiasis among schoolchildren in endemic areas is
