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 …

microRNAs (miRNAs) are a group of small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression
post-transcriptionally through their interaction with the 3′ untranslated regions (3′ UTR) of …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression being
involved in many different biological processes and play a key role in developmental timing …

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 …

Parasitic nematodes are masterful immunomodulators. This class of pathogens has evolved
a spectrum of sophisticated strategies to regulate and evade host immune responses …

Background Macrophages and neutrophils are rapidly recruited around Schistosome eggs
