Schistosome/mollusk: genetic compatibility.
Schistosomiasis remains one of the most prevalent parasitic infections and has significant economic and public health consequences in many developing countries. Economic development and improvement in standard of living in these countries are dependent on the elimination of this odious disease. For the control of Schistosomiasis, understanding the host/parasite association is important, since t...
متن کاملSchistosome Feeding and Regurgitation
Schistosomes are parasitic flatworms that infect >200 million people worldwide, causing the chronic, debilitating disease schistosomiasis. Unusual among parasitic helminths, the long-lived adult worms, continuously bathed in blood, take up nutrients directly across the body surface and also by ingestion of blood into the gut. Recent proteomic analyses of the body surface revealed the presence o...
متن کاملProgress with schistosome transgenesis.
Genome sequences for Schistosoma japonicum and Schistosoma mansoni are now available. The schistosome genome encodes ~13,000 protein encoding genes for which the function of only a minority is understood. There is a valuable role for transgenesis in functional genomic investigations of these new schistosome gene sequences. In gain-of-function approaches, transgenesis can lead to integration of ...

متن کاملThe Schistosome Egg in Transit
The Schistosoma mansoni egg develops in the female worm ooctype where the oocyte and surrounding vitelline granules become enclosed by a protective shell. The schisto some egg is then transported through the uterus to emerge from the genital pore of the intravascular worm. It is not known how eggs successfully enter the perivascular space and how they transit the intestinal wall into the stools...
