Transplantation 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 کاملDifferential 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 کاملHsp70 May Be a Molecular Regulator of Schistosome Host Invasion
Schistosomiasis is a debilitating disease that affects over 240 million people worldwide and is considered the most important neglected tropical disease following malaria. Free-swimming freshwater cercariae, one of the six morphologically distinct schistosome life stages, infect humans by directly penetrating through the skin. Cercariae identify and seek the host by sensing chemicals released f...

متن کاملStem cell progeny contribute to the schistosome host-parasite interface.
Schistosomes infect more than 200 million of the world's poorest people. These parasites live in the vasculature, producing eggs that spur a variety of chronic, potentially life-threatening, pathologies exacerbated by the long lifespan of schistosomes, that can thrive in the host for decades. How schistosomes maintain their longevity in this immunologically hostile environment is unknown. Here,...
