Abstract

The platyhelminth parasite Schistosoma mansoni, the causative agent of schistosomiasis, is a dioecious parasite with a complex life cycle that includes two different hosts and two free-living stages. Yet very little is known about the biochemical details connected to these different transitions. In the present work, results will be presented showing the most recent results in S. mansoni regarding the characterization of transcription factors and coactivators that act directly on the transcriptional machinery and those that are involved with chromatin remodeling. It is hoped that the information gathered here may contribute towards the understanding of crucial events in the parasite life cycle. Likewise, the development of new drugs that could interfere with oogenesis and sexual maturation may eventually profit from the information contained herein.

Anthelmintics (ASM)

Anthelmintics or antihelminthics are a group of antiparasitic drugs that expel parasitic worms (helminths) and other internal parasites from the body by either stunning or killing them and without causing significant damage to the host. Discover the latest research on anthelmintics here.
