Over the last decades, there was increasing evidence for the presence of innate immune
memory in living organisms. In this review, we compare the innate immune memory of …

Human schistosomes combat the unique immune systems of two vastly different hosts
during their indirect life cycles. In gastropod molluscs, they face a potent innate immune …

The freshwater snail Biomphalaria glabrata is an important intermediate host of the parasite
Schistosoma mansoni that causes human intestinal schistosomiasis. To better understand …

This review reexamines the results obtained in recent decades regarding the compatibility
polymorphism between the snail, Biomphalaria glabrata, and the pathogen, Schistosoma …

The snail's immune response is an important determinant of schistosome infection success,
acting in concert with host, parasite, and environmental factors. Coordinated by haemocytes …

The freshwater snail, Biomphalaria glabrata, is an important intermediate host in the life
cycle for the human parasite Schistosoma mansoni, the causative agent of schistosomiasis …

Immune factors in snails of the genus Biomphalaria are critical for combating Schistosoma
mansoni, the predominant cause of human intestinal schistosomiasis. Independently, many …

Background We seek to provide a comprehensive overview of transcriptomics responses of
immune-related features of the gastropod Biomphalaria glabrata (Bg) following exposure to …

Background The three epidemiologically important Opisthorchiidae liver flukes Opisthorchis
felineus, O. viverrini, and Clonorchis sinensis, are believed to harbour similar potencies to …

Schistosomiasis, or also generally known as bilharzia or snail fever, is a parasitic disease
that is caused by trematode flatworms of the genus Schistosoma. It is considered by the …
