Differential Expression of microRNAs in the Non-Permissive Schistosome Host Microtus fortis under Schistosome Infection
The reed vole Microtus fortis is the only mammal known in China in which the growth, development and maturation of schistosomes (Schistosoma japonicum) is prevented. It might be that the anti-schistosomiasis mechanisms of M. fortis associate with microRNA-mediated gene expression, given that the latter has been found to be involved in gene regulation in eukaryotes. In the present study, the dif...
متن کاملApoptosis Governs the Elimination of Schistosoma japonicum from the Non-Permissive Host Microtus fortis
The reed vole, Microtus fortis, is the only known mammalian host in which schistosomes of Schistosoma japonicum are unable to mature and cause significant pathogenesis. However, little is known about how Schistosoma japonicum maturation (and, therefore, the development of schistosomiasis) is prevented in M. fortis. In the present study, the ultrastructure of 10 days post infection schistosomula...
متن کاملTransplantation of sporocysts between host snails : schistosome
Schistosomiasis is an important parasitic disease, touching roughly 200 million people worldwide. The causative agents are different species. Schistosoma Schistosomes have a complex life cycle, with a freshwater snail as intermediate host. After infection, sporocysts develop inside the snail host and give rise to human dwelling larvae. We present here a detailed step-by-step video instruction i...
متن کاملHematospermia due to schistosome infection in travelers.
Sir—Schwartz et al. [1] highlight hematospermia as a presenting symptom of schistosomiasis and comment that this presentation seems to be rare among travelers with schistosomiasis, although it is perhaps more common than is generally perceived. Indeed, several reports other than the 2 mentioned in their article have documented this presentation in returning travelers [2–4]. It is important to n...
متن کاملHuman Schistosome Infection and Allergic Sensitisation
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 allergic sensitisation. However, helminth products induce regulatory responses capable of inhibiting not only antiparasite immune responses, but...
