Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease caused by helminths of the genus Schistosoma that affects about 240 million people worldwide. Brazil is the South American country with the highest incidence of the disease, due, among other factors, to the presence of the intermediate host in endemic regions. It is worth mentioning that, despite praziquantel having an efficiency of 90.3% of success …

Schistosomiasis is a neglected parasitic disease, caused by the species Schistosoma mansoni, which affects a total of 54 countries and 19 states in Brazil. Currently, the only drug available for treatment is Praziquantel, which is effective only against adult worms and, when used massively, can lead to the selection of resistant strains of the parasite. Epigenetics is one of the ways to s…
In Brazil, schistosomes is a parasitic disease caused by the species Schistosoma mansoni, and is still considered a serious public health problem in Brazil and worldwide. Epigenetics is a current tool to uncover possible mechanisms of pathogenesis in various diseases, such as schistosomiasis. Epigenetic alterations can be inherited, which makes it possible to investigate the epigenetic co…
