Non-coding RNAs in schistosomes: an unexplored world
(Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2011)
Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) were recently given much higher attention due to technical advances in sequencing which expanded the characterization of transcriptomes in different organisms. ncRNAs have different lengths (22 nt ...
On the three-finger protein domain fold and CD59-like proteins in Schistosoma mansoni
(Public Library of ScienceSan Francisco, 2013-10-24)
Background: It is believed that schistosomes evade complement-mediated killing by expressing regulatory proteins on their surface. Recently, six homologues of human CD59, an important inhibitor of the complement system ...
Alternative splicing of the Schistosoma mansoni gene encoding a homologue of epidermal growth factor receptor

The schistosome oesophageal gland: initiator of blood processing
(Public Library of ScienceSan Francisco, 2013-07)
Background: Although the ultrastructure of the schistosome esophageal gland was described .35 years ago, its role in the processing of ingested blood has never been established. The current study was prompted by our ...
The Schistosome Esophagus Is a 'Hotspot' for Microexon and Lysosomal Hydrolase Gene Expression: Implications for Blood Processing.

Interaction of an esophageal MEG protein from schistosomes with a human S100 protein involved in inflammatory response
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2017)
Background: The Micro-Exon Gene-14 (MEG-14) displays a remarkable structure that allows the generation of antigenic variation in Schistosomes. Previous studies showed that the soluble portion of the MEG-14 protein displays ...
Molecular Markers for Detecting Schistosoma Species by Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification
(2020)
Schistosomiasis is considered a neglected parasitic disease. Around 280,000 people die from it annually, and more than 779 million people are at risk of getting infected. The schistosome species which infect human beings ...
