This review covers the general aspects of the anatomy and physiology of the major body
systems in digenetic trematodes, with an emphasis on new knowledge of the area acquired …

Zoonoses are diseases and infections naturally transmitted between humans and vertebrate
animals. They form the dominant group of diseases among emerging infectious diseases …

Schistosomes are flatworm parasites that undergo a complex life cycle involving two hosts.
The regulation of the parasite's developmental processes relies on both coding RNAs and …

Background Schistosomiasis is a disease primarily caused by eggs laid by pathogens called
schistosomes. Among the schistosome species infecting humans, Schistosoma japonicum …

Schistosomiasis is a disease caused by trematodes of the genus Schistosoma that affects

systems in digenetic trematodes, with an emphasis on new knowledge of the area acquired …

Long noncoding (lnc) RNAs are emerging as imported regulators of immunity but how they
impact the host response to infection is still largely unknown. In previous screening studies …
