Schistosomiasis, caused mainly by Schistosoma japonicum, S. mansoni, and S.
hematobium, remains one of the most prevalent and serious parasitic diseases worldwide …

Translocator proteins (TSPO) are the products of a family of genes that is evolutionarily
conserved from bacteria to humans and expressed in most mammalian tissues and cells …

Schistosoma mansoni is the primary causative agent of schistosomiasis, which affects 200
million individuals in 74 countries. We generated 163,000 expressed-sequence tags (ESTs) …

Schistosoma japonicum causes schistosomiasis in humans and livestock in the Asia-Pacific
region. Knowledge of the genome of this parasite should improve understanding of …

Direct assessments of gene function in parasitic flatworms have been hampered by the lack
of effective tools to alter gene expression. The aim of the present study was to use RNA …

Global profiling transcriptomes of parasitic helminths offers the potential to simultaneously
identify co-ordinately expressed genes, novel genetic programs and uniquely utilized …

The control of helminth diseases of people and livestock continues to rely on the widespread

Analysis of 2479 ESTs from Vitis vinifera berry tissue and 2438 from leaf revealed that 1% of
the ESTs match to known Vitis proteins, 72% to plant proteins, 11% to non-plant, and 16 …
