Infections with parasitic helminths cause severe debilitating and sometimes lethal diseases
in humans and domestic animals on a global scale. Unable to synthesize de novo their own …

The plerocercoid larvae of the tapeworm Spirometra erinaceieuropaei can parasitize
humans and animals and cause serious parasitic zoonosis. However, our knowledge of the …

The first cestode genomes were obtained by an international consortium led by the
Wellcome Sanger Institute that included representative institutions from countries where the …

During chronic schistosome infections, a complex regulatory network is induced to regulate
the host immune system, in which IL-10-producing regulatory B (Breg) cells play a significant …

Fatty acid binding proteins (FABPs) are small intracellular proteins that reversibly bind fatty

Fatty acid binding proteins (FABPs) have emerged as attractive vaccination candidates for
several platyhelminth species. To explore the physiological functions of Echinococcus …

Cestodes are important endoparasitic organisms, some of which are responsible for serious
zoonotic diseases. The most severe diseases are inflicted by the larval stages …

Echinococcus granulosus has a complex life cycle involving two mammalian hosts. The
transition from one host to another is accompanied by changes in gene expression, and the …

Echinococcus multilocularis is the etiological agent of alveolar echinococcosis (AE), a
