Helminth parasites have a remarkable ability to persist within their mammalian hosts, which
is largely due to their secretion of molecules with immunomodulatory properties. Although …

Small RNAs are important regulators of gene expression. They were first identified in
Caenorhabditis elegans, but it is now apparent that the main small RNA silencing pathways …

The equine bloodworm, Strongylus vulgaris, is a highly pathogenic parasite causing
potentially fatal vascular and intestinal damage. Parasites express and release microRNAs …

CircRNAs, a novel class of ncRNA family, are endogenous transcriptional products involved
in various biological and physiological processes in plants and animals. However, almost no …

This review addresses the research landscape regarding vaccines against scour worms,
particularly Trichostrongylus spp. and Teladorsagia circumcincta. The inability of past …

Parasites belonging to the class Cestoda include zoonotic species such as Echinococcus
spp. and Taenia spp. that cause morbidity and mortality in endemic areas, mainly affecting …

Schistosoma mansoni is a flatworm that causes schistosomiasis, a neglected tropical
disease that affects more than 200 million people worldwide. There is only one drug …

Micro RNAs (miRNAs), as regulators of gene expression at the post-transcriptional level, can
respond to/or interact with cell signaling and affect the pathogenesis of different …

Widespread and improper use of various anthelmintics, genetic, and epidemiological factors
has resulted in anthelmintic-resistant (AR) helminth populations in livestock. This is currently …

Among the fundamental biological processes affected by microRNAs, small regulators of
gene expression, a potential role in host-parasite communication is intriguing. We compared …
