Abstract As one of the three major human pathogens that cause schistosomiasis, Schistosoma japonicum is only endemic in China. Despite great progress on schistosomiasis control over past 50 years China, S. transmission still occurs certain regions, which causes significant public health problems and enormous economic losses. During different life stages, parasites are able to survive dramatic osmolality changes between its vector, fresh water, mammal host. However, molecular mechanism...

Background Modifications of behavior can help reduce the risk transmission by disrupting parasite life cycle. Behavior intension is a necessary intermediate step in change. This study aimed to explore protection motivation theory (PMT) predicting likelihood engagement protective against infection with Schistosoma. Methods In China, questionnaire for data collection was sent users who followed WeChat public account from June 2 6, 2023. Factors affecting intentional participants were analyzed...

Schistosomiasis is a tropical parasitic disease that seriously endangers humans and animals. In this study, two Oncomelania snails, hupensis ( O. ) weishan ), were infected with Schistosoma japonicum S. cercariae during the early period, ICR mice subsequently kinds of miracidia developed in male female adult worms. isobaric tags for relative absolute quantification (iTRAQ) used to identify four channels: 113, 115, 117, 119. A total 2364 schistosome proteins identified, 1901 quantitative. Our...

Abstract Apicomplexan parasites, such as Toxoplasma gondii , possess unique organelles, cytoskeletal structures, signalling cascades, replicate by internal budding within a specialised compartment and actively invade exit the host cell, to name few aspects of biology that characterise this phylum. Due their huge phylogenetic distance from well established model organisms, opisthokonts, comparative genomics has limited capacity infer gene functions conserved proteins can fulfil different...

Schistosomiasis is an infectious disease caused by trematode parasites of the genus Schistosoma. According to World Health Organization (WHO), it estimated that about 250 million people in world are infected with disease, nearly 800 at risk infection, and more than 200,000 die schistosomiasis every year.1, 2 In China, endemic species schistosome primarily infects humans Schistosoma japonicum. japonica has been a major public health problem affecting human economic development past decades....
