Schistosoma mansoni is the parasite responsible for schistosomiasis in Brazil, a neglected disease that affects more than 250 million people worldwide, with the only currently recommended pharmacological treatment being the use of the drug praziquantel (PZQ). Although safe, PZQ is unable to eliminate immature worms, does not prevent reinfection, and has been used in mass administration pr…
Schistosoma mansoni is the trematode responsible for causing schistosomiasis in Brazil, a neglected tropical disease that affects more than 200 million people worldwide. The search for new therapeutic targets is necessary since praziquantel (PZQ), the only drug used for disease control, has been associated with the development of parasite resistance and is ineffective against young parasi…
Flatworms of the genus Schistosoma are responsible for causing schistosomiasis, a neglected disease that affects more than 200 million people worldwide. These worms have a heteroxenous life cycle, dependent on two hosts to fully develop: snails of the genus Biomphalaria as intermediate hosts, and a mammal as the definitive host. The disease affects populations without adequate basic sanit…
Recent works have shown that the major part of the messages transcribed in human cells is composed of non-protein coding RNAs (ncRNAs). A large fraction of these ncRNAs is composed of short (< 200 nucleotides) RNAs. Among these, the micro-RNAs (miRNAs) have been more extensively studied, as they are predicted to regulate over 60% of the protein-coding RNAs in humans. Another subclass of n…
Schistosomiasis is a very debilitating disease, spread across three continents and infecting more than 200 million people. Administration of praziquantel to infected individuals is the basis of current schistosomiasis therapy; however, cure rates of less than 50 % have been recorded and drug tolerance has been already reported, reinforcing the need for new and more effective approaches in…
