RESEARCH NOTE - The Tegument of Schistosoma mansoni: Genes, Antigens and the Host-Parasite Relationship (1998)

Edneide M Xavier, Norma Lucena-Silva, Roberto P Werkhauser, Gloria R Franco, Andrew JG Simpson, ...

Cercaria, the infective larvae of Schistosoma mansoni are released from a molluscan host and must penetrate the skin of the human host within several hours in order to continue the life-cycle of the...

Update of the gene discovery program in Schistosoma mansoni with the expressed sequence tag approach (1997)

Elida ML Rabelo, Gloria R Franco, Vasco AC Azevedo, Heloisa B Pena, Tulio M Santos, Wendell SF Meira, ...

Continuing the Schistosoma mansoni Genome Project 363 new templates were sequenced generating 205 more ESTs corresponding to 91 genes. Seventy four of these genes (81%) had not previously been...

Evidentiation of Paramyosin (Sm-97) as a modulating antigen on granulomatous hypersensitivity to Schistosoma mansoni eggs (1997)

Cristine Hirsch, Claudia Carvalho-Queiroz, Gloria R Franco, Sergio DJ Pena, Andrew JG Simpson, Alfredo M Goes

A Schistosoma mansoni adult worm anionic fraction (PIII) has previously been shown to protect mice against challenge infection and to reduce pulmonary and hepatic granulomatous hypersensitivity....

Sequencing and Identification of Expressed Schistosoma mansoni   Genes by Random Selection of cDNA Clones from a Directional Library (1995)

Gloria R Franco, Andrew JG Simpson, Sergio DJ Pena

We have initiated a gene discovery program in Schistosoma mansoni   based on the technique of Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs), i.e. partial sequences of cDNAs obtained from single passes in automatic...

Swine and Poultry Pathogens: the Complete Genome Sequences of Two Strains of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae and a Strain of Mycoplasma synoviae†

Vasconcelos, Ana Tereza R., Ferreira, Henrique B., Bizarro, Cristiano V., Bonatto, Sandro L., Carvalho, Marcos O., Pinto, Paulo M., ...

This work reports the results of analyses of three complete mycoplasma genomes, a pathogenic (7448) and a nonpathogenic (J) strain of the swine pathogen Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae and a strain of the...

The MHC Gene Region of Murine Hosts Influences the Differential Tissue Tropism of Infecting Trypanosoma cruzi Strains

Freitas, Jorge M., Andrade, Luciana O., Pires, Simone F., Lima, Ricardo, Chiari, Egler, Santos, Ricardo R., ...

We have previously demonstrated that both parasite genetic variability and host genetic background were important in determining the differential tissue distribution of the Col1.7G2 and JG T. cruzi...
