This review summarizes the research progress made over the past decade in the field of
gastropod immunity resulting from investigations of the interaction between the snail …

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

Biomphalaria snails are instrumental in transmission of the human blood fluke Schistosoma
mansoni. With the World Health Organization's goal to eliminate schistosomiasis as a global …

Significance: Parasite survival and virulence relies on effective defenses against reactive
oxygen and nitrogen species produced by the host immune system. Peroxiredoxins (Prxs) …

The purpose of study was to evaluate that kallistatin deficiency causes excessive production
of reactive oxygen species and exacerbates neuronal injury after cardiac arrest. For in vitro …

Helminth parasitology is an important discipline, which poses often unique technical
challenges. One challenge is that helminth parasites, particularly those in humans, are often …

The co-evolution between hosts and parasites involves huge reciprocal selective pressures
on both protagonists. However, relatively few reports have evaluated the impact of these …

The outcome of infection in the host snail Biomphalaria glabrata with the digenean parasite
Schistosoma mansoni is determined by the initial molecular interplay occurring between …

Schistosomiasis is one of the most important neglected tropical diseases. Despite effective
chemotherapeutic treatments, this disease continues to afflict hundreds of millions of people …

Continuing transmission of human intestinal schistosomiasis depends on the parasite's
access to susceptible snail intermediate hosts (often Biomphalaria glabrata). Transmission …
